Would that "later in the war" perhaps be post 43? Nevertheless, we always had an issue with representing dramatic silhouette changes or additions to armament. The later is mostly due to the occlusion maps that add a lot to the feel of the ship, even with the dynamic shadows. Still it can be done, but it takes much more effort per ship.
Regarding the secondary armaments, you're definetly right! We have a classic issue of both the guns and the ship containing the "pedestal".
As for the KGV, they will of course be included in the game. However, you have to understand that no matter what ship we might choose to show, somebody would come and say "why that ship makes no sense, it was the other one that was much more interesting to be shown".
One of the tricks of submarine games and free roaming is that the player should never completely know "whats around the corner". If all we included was the KGV, the game world would have been kind of poor. So, expect more, much more.
