I'd have to double-check, but since I use the no fatigue model, I haven't noticed. The problem with the snorkel is that most had faulty floats. They would either stick open (flooding the diesels and the sub) or stick closed (smothering the crew). When the float would open and close normally in poor weather conditions, the diesels sucking the air briefly out of the compartments would cause painful pressure changes in the boat that would strain or rupture the eardrums of the crew. This is probably what you are thinking of regarding the modeling.
