Wait a minute there, speedy. If WW2 was "balanced" it would still be going on. Granted during the period of 1940 to present,.... the escalation and advances in weaponary would have already smoked our planet by now. (or would it?)
Inducing "balance" is soooo wrong when the "balance" is nothing more than nerfing an already nerfed item.
German torp range is unreasonably shortened too much. Even if speed or damage is not enhanced, the range SHOULD be extended. BB one shot subs all the time and KM submarine attack capability is cursed with many nerfs already. The KM submarine launched torpedoes ALSO need either SPEED or DAMAGE or RANGE added to existing capability to be more realistic.

When you have proxy torps, the obvious balancing solution is shorter range and lower damage.
While some other subs have to deal with 1/2 or entire salvos duding, KM has no such worries as if properlly aimed, Proxy solves the dud problem, this is a major advantage and needs more counters to balance it with other nations, especially in SS vs SS play.
"Balance" ? Whether it is SS vs SS or SS vs BB,... looks to me like the "Balance" you and others like you seek is cardboard German subs with slingshots for weapons.
I have to modify my U-Boat tactics as it is to score kills and almost all excusions in sub is ONE WAY already.
If you people seek "Balance" just remove the submarines altogether, as for the direction you seek.
