Shouldn't have anything to do with it, the single/quick .mis files have the default sub type, but nothing about the physics of the sub. If TMO alters either of the two files involved in this hack, then the changes made by the user should override that. Depending on several factors, of course;

1. Windows Vista/7/8/whatever UAC interfering with changes,
2. Editing the correct file in the wrong folder, example editing CFG files in F:\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific then testing in C:\Subgames\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific using the unedited files,
3. Being a senile old geezer and forgetting to change the subtype in the mission from Balao to Gar (I did that twice while testing this yesterday),
4. Using JGSME the wrong way at the wrong time.

Can't think of anything else offhand, whatever the basic physics of the subtype are they should be used in any career start or any quick mission. Only thing that triggers alarm bells in my mind is his reference to "radar depth", when I hit CTRL ; the message I get is "snorkel depth".
