I do love it when people spell my name wrong and complain that I love/hate certain nation/classes, when they can't come up with a balance argument to prove me wrong.
5 x SS4's you say?
In one account I have 2 SS4 and take a closer look at this:

It's obvious you don't have enough experience playing ss, nor playing against SS. Yet, you are here claiming to be the all knowing and that SS are overpowered.
If you put 1000 pounds on one end of a scale and a 1000 pounds more on the other side, it's still balanced. It doesn't have to be 10 pounds on one side and 10 pounds on the other.
Powerfull SS with powerfull ASW opens the chance for fleets to develop great strategies.(both offensively and defensively)
Ask BS on how to easily counter SS in a HA. Ask CS on how to use SS in a strategic way. If you remove SS's powerfull capabilities, you lower the fear factor it creates and prevent strategic use of the SS.
What do you ppl want?, an SS that can't even kill the prey(BB) it was designed to be able to kill?
DP/S so low a BB could survive 2 wave of torps and run away to safety?
DC are good, all a ff or dd needs to do is get in, dodge the torps and hump the SS. Once the SS is humped, the SS can critical all it wants, he will need to surface sometime. If it has HE flak, then it probably sacrificed it's ability to repair effectively and will probably die if it gets shot by a BB.
The SS that perform so good in GB always uses 120 crew. So the argument about level and exp. differences isn't as relevant as you make it out to be. SS4 also uses level 120 crew.
SS4 is currently the end game "ship" for the SS line. If you say SS4 needs a slight nerf so that SS5 fits in better, then yes.
Try the word ADAPT once in awhile instead of the word NERF...
