Yes it was, and no mod could ever fix it.

In real life there were ships that burned for days, and then the fire went out by itself.

But those were rare cases, and I can tell you from first-hand experience that a fire on board is a sailor's worst nightmare. Fire can indeed eat through the toughest steel, and many ships during the war were abandoned because once the fire is out of control it's almost a foregone conclusion that the ship will sink. Of course the problem of having nowhere to go that isn't burning also plays a part.
