I was recently surprised to read that the Germans first successfully tested firing 28cm HE rockets from a submerged submarine in 1942. This was a standard rocket model in use by the army and only had a range of a little over 2,000 yards. Their idea at the time was to use this technology for offshore bombardment of New York but unfortunately for them the success of Operation Drumbeat resulted in such intensive ASW activity off the US coast that it was felt unwise to proceed with such a short range attack.

However, the fact is that the Germans actually had this submarine rocket capability in 1942 and did further work on the possibility of submarine launched V2's although these were never actually used.

My question re HOI2 is whether it is currently possible to develop submarine launched rocket missiles (I have not acquired the game yet as I am in the UK) and if not would this be a tech that could be implemented by modders?
