I rather like them, but rather see them more realistic. Still, you load the internal and externals with ammo, oil or fuel both, you're gonna get one big blast radius.

Well I think majority of tankers should have fuel loadouts, esp if heading TO Japan from the South West Pacific area. Tankers usually blew up nice, the book by Admiral Calvert about the USS Jack's "Tanker Sweep" where they sent an entire convoy of tankers to the bottom come to mind....each tanker blew up in wild fashion.
I think majority of ships should have freighter, with some carrying ammo crates and some carrying internal and external loads of ammo.
Every ship in RSRD seems to have ammo crates or both.I think Lurker may have did this to make them easier to sink bc in the game if not loaded with right ammo it can take too much to sink some ships.Problem is almost every merchant in RSRD blows into two pieces, esp lone merchants, it nerfs realism a bit.I'd love to change this but cant do it without fouling up RSRD.
