I completely agree. Basically using manual means it is extremely difficult to tb ships other than on the enemy front lines. Changing altitude is so slow it makes it impossible to target ships beyond the front line. You'd likely cross over multiple ships while lowering altitude and be easily shot down. On top of that, the front line is pretty much entirely made up of DD's, not exactly the ships you're looking to tb, nor the easiest ships to hit either. Also, having to fly in at low altitude from so far away takes away any surprise factor of whether they're db or tb meaning they can easily evade the slow turning planes(and turning causes you to lose airspeed too...) that they know are coming in to drop torps.
