Aircraft can, and most certainly will, launch torpedoes in the stock game. Problem being the coding for them is wonky. After being dropped from the correct speed and altitude they will splash into the water as normal. Then things go south. Upon entering the water they will go very deep and then proceed to travel backwards for a bit before finally moving forward and at the correct depth. Real world behavior sees an aerial torpedo going down to 40ish feet before coming back up, game ones seem to go deeper than that.

Also in stock, only AI torpedo bombers, Bettys, and the player can launch torpedoes. Making surface untis launch them was a mod effort that came later.
