As makers mentioned, the fires are mainly caused by underwater damage and pretty much only show which part of ship is leaking. Thats why so often a ship without a spark suddenly explodes into a inferno when it has sunk almost below the waves. I hope that fire damage model is more realistic in V6 and not just effects but maybe the game needs entirelly new he-ammo and ship surface structure damage modelling and that might be too much to ask. Now fires are tied very closely to underwater damage.
