I have been trying to make an updated version of the stock 1984 North Atlantic campaign, and update it to be 2004 or so, with all the newer vessels. Try as I might I cannot, for example, get Alfa2 to work in there (I do realize it's a fictional vessel)

Does it work in single missions? Did you add it to "campaign\maps\(map name)_sea_traffic "?

I actually didn't know about the sea traffic file. Thank you, I will check that out.

What determines whether or not subs display in the signature tab, as you click through?

In this 2004 campaign I'm working on, I have Akula1 and Akula2 showing up in the game, and they can be auto-classified eventually, but they don't show up with the other russian subs as I click through.

As far as I know the sea traffic map file under OtherVessels= is what does that.

That was it. I had edited so many files I had screwed them up and had to go back to the original "default" and "override" folders. Thank you.

edit: By playing around with these files I figured out how to set it up so that only Russian and civilian/biological contacts show up in the signature window when I’m playing as American in the North Atlantic campaign. And the opposite for when I’m playing as the Russians.

My mouse-clicking finger is much less fatigued.

Awesome. Not sure why it wasn't like that to begin with.
