Is the game getting better at assigning more "appropriate" missions based on the capabilities of your sub?

I've messed around and created a few boats which you might end up seeing in the "playable Russian subs" mod, including basically the whole line of GUPPY conversions (minus the initial GUPPY Is as they had been brought up to II standard) and while doing the 1968 campaign with one of them, I noticed that I was almost exclusively getting assigned missions in and around the GIUK gap and Norwegian sea, like you would assume a diesel/electric sub on barrier patrol would.

This is a bit different from what I've seen before from this campaign where about every second mission sends you into the Barents or to stop an invasion force.
