It is really true. On the other hand, it is possible to have fires raging on deck that look a lot worse than they are, and fires in the bilges eating through the steel hull that can't be seen at all from another ship. Unfortunately the game doesn't allow that kind of fine tuning.

I read TDW's comment on the SH5 boards of slight teething problems with how long it took the fire to accomplish its task. He must have solved it to his satisfaction, but I'm still curious.
