You might increase particle size, but the effect would look coarser probably, or you might increase particle spawn rate and radius, but the effect would use more computer resources

Sure it is, and it is used in SHIII too: there is at least an explosion particle that I am aware of, using an animated texture
You can look on the web for a ready-to-use animated flame texture, or you can look for two or more flame textures, crop/resize them so they have the same size, and interpolate the animation frames between them with a morphing program

Amazing
Don't forget flames on top of flare stacks. Should SHIII miss a model of them, I think that extracting them from one of the 3Dwarehouse models and importing them in game shouldn't be too complicated

Probably coarser
