Do you need the Peggy T? Do you need that many engines for it?
First the engine. Well, you need that engine for other aircraft that you need to research so that does not take to much to think about.
The Bombers? It is an ARMY aircraft with torpedoes as its first weapon, not bombs. So it is also the only ARMY aircraft with torpedoes which are designed to put holes into ships hulls and not bounce off decks. That makes it harder for things like battleships to stay afloat. The better part may be that on Low Nav with bombs, it does not get penalized. Against lighter ships from prewar CAs on down, bombs can work just as good as torpedoes and you get many more chances to hit. That should make it useful against invasion convoys and supporting convoys.
