Base idea is here:

So just replace start year from 1943+ year to 1939 in mentioned above files.
After manipulation with Basic.cfg; Flotillia.cfg ; SH3 folder NS_Uboat21 <->
NSS_Uboat18 (for SH4) - do "smart replacement" from string
Code:
;[SUBMARINE_AMMO11];XXI
Copy last block for 1945 year - copy, paste and modify as
Code:
;[SUBMARINE_AMMO11];XXI
[SUBMARINE_AMMO10]

Don't forget to do the same on MODS\Patch.. \ Data files too (if they exist for your patches/ mods)
And go \Data\UPCDataGE\UPCCampaignData
file: CareerStart.upc
Replace in [CareerStart 1.Flotilla 1] section (if you want to start 1-st Flotilla)
Code:
IDLinkUserPlayerUnits= F1IIB, 4, F1VIIB, 2
to
Code:
IDLinkUserPlayerUnits= F1IIB, 4, F1VIIB, 2, F5XVIII, 3
Then go Flotillas.upc (the same directory)
add before ;--------------------IIB------------------Minen----------- string follow block
Code:
[Flotilla 1.UserPlayerUnitType 4]
ID= F5XVIII
NameDisplayable= U-Boot tipo XVIIII
AvailabilityInterval= 1939-01-30, 1945-08-30
IDLinkUserPlayerUnitType= XVIIII
UnitTypeCommonality= 5
IDFlotillaLinkTransferTo= 11Flotilla
So as result you will be able to select type XX! submarine when starting new campaign (1-st Flotilla 1939). Just in case don't forget to replace all torpedos to T1 according 1939 year.
Worked for me for Knighs of Sea Depth 2 addon to SH4.
