If a tu2 and b25c has formations enabled why not?

Why not?

They would roll in trailing positions just like the drones from a land base.

could air spawn them and have the player rendezvous with them shortly after takeoff.

Even if formations remain disabled on a CV, they should be allowed on land.  Tu-2s are far more dangerous as a formation or individually.

Imagine seeing a massive B5N torpedo raid!   :x   They would even have a chance of sinking the boat.

The TBM's took off of from  the carries and then formed in real life.  The B-17's, et al, did not take off in formation in the WW 2. They formed after take off. Have the TBM's behind each other , on the carrier, as the bombers on land. I don't see a problem, but that's me.

Maybe not in the MA, but the option for Events would help and would make "bomber duty" in these types of planes much less...depressing. :)

Why not in the MA? Players sink CV's by every other method. I for one would like to learn how to kill a CV with a torp/.
