CFG Tweak Fixes Helm/Range?

This just happened, so I don't know if it is a fleeting fix or not, in fact, not sure what fixed what.
I was having big problems with my watch crew failing to report sightings until I was in the process of being rammed by DDs or run over by Merchants. So I edited the main.cfg file so that TC would revert to 1 rather than 8 on enemy contact. I changed both cfgs in the game install folder and the documents folder. Upon restarting the game I find that now when I order 7kts, my helm makes 7kts, not 10 or 11 kts as before (I had to click around on the speed dial until I approximated the speed I wanted). Furthermore, my sub's range seems greatly decreased, and more realistic, for a given amount of fuel. Right now I'm at 73% and the navigator reports the best possible range at the most conservative speed to be around 12000 km, where before I was able by choosing a speed just in-between 10 and 11 kts to get 17 or 18 thousand kms on that much fuel.
What up wit dat?
