Building submarines goes considerably faster when you dont bother with quality control. Lack of quality control also helps submarines submerge. I understand it's a little less helpful when it comes to getting back to the surface, however.

As a former submariner I can can confirm that it is important to keep the surface/dive ratio = 1 at the end of every mission.

Same with aircraft, what goes up, should come down... albeit carefully.

Lack of quality control also helps submarines submerge. Yes, even the lowered quality control standards kept most type XXI uboats from ever making it to the ocean. If they had only eliminated quality control altogether, think of how many more submarines they could have put beneath the waves.

Many of the delays were related to the diversion of resources to the many super weapons projects and Hitler’s changing whims and demands on things like demanding the ME262 be a fighter-bomber instead of the interceptor it was ready to be. The 262 in particular could have kept allied bombers from being the huge disruptor of German industry if they’d gone into service earlier and in greater numbers. Reading back on this, you can easily explain this with RTW2. Hitler's whims were a Speed/Bomb load plane.

It’s more like ordering a speed/firepower plane for intercepting and then repeatedly turning down proposals until you got one with a decent bombload XD

Backing away carefully from the historical discussion, I think it might be interesting if we had a bit more granular control over submarine and ASW forces.
If we could assign submarines to specific sea zones and set different doctrines for each zone it might add a bit of (imho) much needed interest to submarines, instead of the "build them and forget about them" situation in RTW1. It would also be nice if instead of the RTW1 CP/ASW role we had a dedicated role for ASW and convoy protection so that there was a more active way of combating an opponent with a large submarine force instead of the blockade and wait strategy we end up with in RTW1.
Edit: just re-read the dev journal and seen we will be getting ASW and convoy protection roles, so all I need is a bit more granularity to the submarines role.

Have they considered doing WITP:AE style submarine warfare?

As the old saying goes, one reason submarines have so few accidents is because the guy who seals the hatch is inside the boat.
The older I get, the more convinced I am that most problems arise from people making decisions or rules who do not have to abide by them.
