These might cause: a persistent static, low level flames (relative to the initial explosion) through which, or against which the convoy passes, causing slight illumination of shipping. flames very gradually fall astern of the convoy lasting for half an hour or so? This being a possible effect of a hit that flames a tanker. Possibly attended by large amounts of black smoke (fuel oil) or higher but briefer flames (petrol)
and...
Very occasional massive explosion effect from hitting a ship with a) a large tonnage, and b) randomly carrying munitions. Probably an effect one only sees circa every 5-10 games, so that it remains note-worthy and dramatic. Remains of blown apart ship sinks immediately after arcs of superstructure and other falling debris land all around. Rare but extraordinary to see.
