Thanks, this mod really adds a lot to the game.

Sorry to have to report no joy there.
Started 2 fires on a Med. Modern Composite Freighter with the single 20mm - doing as little damage to the ship as possible, then i just followed the freighter for 24hrs (game time). Still afloat and burning, with no reduction in speed at that time (clean install of SH4 - 1.5 with no other mods).
Repeated. this time the freighter slowed from 5 kts to 1kt in the first 3 hours, but did not sink after 24.
Third test: started a fire but this time with 4 shells from the deck gun. Followed the burning ship for 1 hr., then started a second and third fire with the single 20mm. Ship sank by flooding while I was starting the third fire. I've never sunk a freighter with a 20mm before.
The fires do not seem to be enough to sink a medium sized freighter by them selves, but do seem to amplify other damage done to the target. Very nice!
