Now I am about to find out if there was a good reason I didn't update all those years ago when I last played but which I have now forgotten. Time to break out WinMerge and compare configuration files...
Just a comment on my own play. I'm in the habit of running multiple careers side by side. One of them started in August, and someone showed me this:

I use Commander to assign myself one of the boats that historically left Wilhelmshaven on August 19th. I do a "false patrol" on the 1st, cruising around the harbor for fun, and then set up the boat the way I want it. I set 'Days In Base' to '18', which allows me to leave on the 19th. I also go the long way around, as they were ordered to, and then wait for the war to begin. After that I reset 'Days In Base' to 'Random' and let it have its way. All in fun, of course.

But that's just me.
