If you want to add some new WW2-era Soviet subs to this mod think about
:
- Leninets-class
- Pravda-class
- Katyusha-class
All of them served in the Baltic Fleet during the war.
PS. How wide was access to 53-39 and ET-80 torpedoes during the war? Weren't they only some kind of propaganda weapon while Soviet subs carried only torps of 53-38 type?
Well I also found this data:

These were standard surface and submarine air-steam torpedoes in service at the outbreak of World War II. They were exported postwar and their successors survive, probably on board Romeo- and Foxtrot-class submarines. They also formed the basis of the first Chinese-made torpedoes. Data above are for 53-38. Running depth was 5-13 m.
The 53-38U was an improved version:
- dimensions: 533x7450 mm
- weight: 1725 kg
- warhead: 400 kg
The improved 53-39 entered service in July 1941. It had a more powerful engine and increased air and fuel (kerosene) capacity, and a new MO-3 gyro adjustable for angled fire (0 to 90 deg port or starboard). Data:
- dimensions: 533x7488 mm
- weight: 1780 kg
- speed/range: 51 kt/4 km, 39 kt/8 km, 34 kt/10 km
- warhead: 317 kg
Among several major wartime modifications a magnetic proximity fuze (NVS) entered operational service about 1943.
The 53-39PM (which entered service 1949) was a pattern-running version, probably based on the wartime German FAT.
