Snorkel in type IXD2 German Uboats

Although SH4 is a submarine simulator preferably dedicated to the US Navy, there is a mod that adds a dozen missions and some patrols for the Kriegsmarine Uboats. In almost all of them, the designated submarine is a type "IXD2", some of which had a snorkel, which gave it certain operational advantages, since it could navigate submerged with the diesel engines running. I installed and activated a mod that allows these devices to be added to the aforementioned submarines, and the "Shift + X" key combination makes the snorkel go up and down. But that is where the joy comes, since when the submarine is extended and submerged, it does so with the low speed of the electric motors. In other words, the simulator is not aware that the snorkel is installed and operational. Supposedly the "comma" key is designated for the submarine to dive to snorkeling depth, but in reality its function is associated with the free camera. I don't know if in practice the periscope and snorkel depths are the same, but I suspect they are not. I don't know if this Snorkel is just testimonial, or if there is some way to make it work. Greetings and thanks for your comments!
