I am definitely jealous

Speaking of the night the fire: I think it should be possible to implement such a sh5 - boat lighted the flame burning tanker. What do you think?

The night fire look would be great. But what I am looking for, I guess it would be an option, is that some boats don't burst into flames when you hit them. That way at night it would be more in a realistic manner. When you read about convoy and u-boat attacks, many times the u-boats attack the same ship. So if the ship was burning from stem to stern, they would not waste a torpedo. Unlees it was a target of oppertunity (the wolf in wolfpack). Come back later with the deck gun or maybe another torpedo and finish it off. But many of the ships torpedoed just sank and left no trace. They just disappeared from the convoy. So shooting a couple off torpedoes at night into a frieghter and not knowing right then what happens would be a nice option.
