Because the US and the Fleet Air Arm operated the TBF/TBM, and the US has no viable torpedo bomber that is player flyable. These aircraft were widely deployed in the Pacific, and the Atlantic, and really are necessary for any kind of campaign that involves carrier operations.
Having the TBF/TBM and the Curtiss Helldiver BTW, would flesh out the compliment for the USN.
And true, we need more Japanese attack aircraft as flyable as well.
