What's wrong with the in game VIC formation...?

There is nothing wrong with the in game VIC per se. The only problem is that the Hurricane Mk. I is defaulted to the echelon right and it would be better if it was the VIC.

As for Japanese fighters they are defaulted to the finger four and this is probably good since 3 aircraft in a finger four look a lot like one of the three variations of the Japanese shotai formation, and the Japanese, eventually did start using the finger four.
