Why Germany undertook yet another ambitious project at the end of the war, when it was clearly losing on all fronts is quite easily understood. Other than the apparent fact that
Hitler had always been awed with “wonder weapons”, but the principal notion was to bring the war to
American soil. It was a psychological war, where the Third Reich wanted to impress upon American citizens that it was not safe anywhere, even on their own soil. The V-2 would have been inaccurate, and with a mere handful landing on American cities, it would not even cause a dent in the Allies war capability, but it would certainly be a psychological victory.
As with the
Dolittle Raid, the psychology of the "psychological weapon" was that of the planners, rather than the victims.
Ballistic missile submarines became practical when nuclear weapons were developed. With typical NAZI organization, Germany's uranium was split between two organizations, neither having a critical mass. (Other things seem uncertain about this aricle.)
