another idea, came to mind, and this IS a text file edit.
you can manipulate a couple of Special Abilities to simulate additional range for your boat.
first create a separate mod under JSGME for your changes. Just follow the pattern of the folders already there.
then create folders described below in your mini-mod folder and lastly, copy the individual files to your new folder.
edit these files using the instructions below.

you would need to edit specialabilities.upc in the \UPCDataGE\UPCCrewData and change two parms. BatteryConsume and FuelConsume.
in my copy of KSD, both parms are assigned to one skill: Ability-Propulsion-Specialist
use a straight text editor.
+++
then, you would need to edit your ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc in the SAVEGAMES folder.
use the same simple text editor.
You will need to add the Special Ability that you just changed to one or two Engineering Crewmen.
you only need to do this once per career, unless you lose the crewman or you are sunk.

apply your new mod using JSGME. if you don't like your first version of changes, then, when you are in port, back out your mod, change what you want to change, apply the mod again, eh voila. as we Americans are fond of saying: lather-rinse-repeat.

good luck, whatever you decide to do.
Update: I did a work around leaving Lorient with a IXC boat of the 10th Flotilla ....even has a mission with reaching 5 patrol points on the way to Penang ...

Everything seems to be working much better when compared leaving Bordeaux with a IXD2 boat of the 12th Flotilla ... from Equipment/Turms Upgrades, A/C presence, graphics and details of the boat, overall stability of the game ... I'm beginning to wonder, if the Campaigns with a IXD2 Boat of the 12th Flotilla are somehow "bugged" ...
