Why is this? And can it be fixed so when we hit a fuel cargo we get a big explosion again as the torpedo ignites fuel / ammo...
As it is, we have the explosion after a 3 hour delay and when the ship is under-water - this is unrealistic and I've observed it several times now...
I expect the problem is the cargo fuel / ammo compartments I will take a look and do some testing...

In the zone.cfg file there are settings for crushing depths for each and every ships component. If a ship sinks with it's fuel bunkers intact, the crush depth for the fuel bunkers is set at 100 ft for example, that at that depth the fuel bunker is destroyed. It will blow up at that depth. I've observed with some ships that the blast was so huge it even consumed liferaft at the surface.
It adds a way of sinking. There are a lot of ways for ships to sink, as are in real life.
I think I'll stick to the Die Slowly mod, for the compartment job and the effects added.
Werner, thanks for your reply.
