Either retain the battery simulation and forget the TA and WAA (where applicable) or use the nuclear sub interface that gives you TA but limit at least the maximum speed of the sub to 20 knots.
Giving the Type 212, the Lada, the Harushio and the Collins the TA was much more important than "simulating" the diesel-electric part.
It was a compromise and I think the best choice was made in regards to playability.
This is one thing that bugs me in AT, all the modern SSK basically share the same interface and therefore limitation of the Kilo which was absurd.

Hey did you try out the new periscope station ? The RA modders did a good job on that one.
