I'd love to see controllable subs, and if SES plan to continue making games in the future in other theaters and later periods, they will HAVE to make controllable subs eventually (and aircraft). Actually most of the pieces required for it are already there - the subs exist as 3D units that can dive and launch torpedoes. The real problem is that there is no ASW behaviour of any kind. It's the same with the Zeppelins in game - they exist as 3D units and fly correctly, but there is no AA behaviour, so they are also not player-controllable in battles.

Sadly, the modding ability is very limited right now because the game's code and data are closed. I know there was some talk about opening it up more earlier, but I'm not sure much came out of that in the end.
