Will modders manage to get Cold Waters somewhat realistically?

Hello Subsim, you´re an awesome community here!

I´ve just got Cold Waters as the trailers looked promising. This game looks and sounds so beautiful and with the playable subs mod so many juicy submarines are added that I initially though a dream is about to come true.

However spending some years on a Navy boat myself and being an avid reader of submarine related stuff I simply can´t get over some of the unrealistic (plain said simply stupid) mechanics of this game. This sounds very rude but it can be frustrating when you basically have no means to apply real world tactics to this game and teenagers in the forums believe that creating knuckle spams for 10 minutes is the way how submarine warfare works. I am about to give it up as sometimes it gives me the impression I´m playing one of this mobile games, and no I do not need hardcore sim aspects to have fun.

Being repeatedly impressed what Subsim modders achieved with several subsims (Silent Hunter 5: at release=trainwreck now with WOTS=dream) I asked myself if modders ever will be able to turn this game into something like Sub Command or Dangerous Waters. I am not talking about recreating the interfaces of the mentioned games but simply recreating this "authentic subsim feel" Sonalyst always managed to get right.

Is it possible, is the game accessible to modding? It would be wonderful if this could happen.
