Not sure I'm seeing it, what I got;

\data\Library\TDW_Ship_Plane_Fire_Damage_v1_3_SH4. dat

And that's all that's in the zip, nothing more, no readme telling me I need an additional file or files from other mods.
Is that file self activating, or does another file need to be edited to call it? I'm not sure how the game works, does it go to the library folder and load any file it finds with a DAT extension, or does it ignore files not on the shopping list? I went ahead and installed it, checked \data\Library\TDW_Ship_Plane_Fire_Damage_v1_3_SH4. dat in the test copy of SH4, then watched three US light cruisers and 2 US heavy cruisers hammering away at a Maya heavy cruiser for half an hour. I had three fish left and a battleship coming from the south so I left to deal with that and came back a few hours later to check the Maya.

1315 hours after 30 minutes of hammering.

Six hours later still floating, no settling deeper, no increase in number or size of fires. If that's what the mod is supposed to do I would say it needs some tweaking, assuming it's actually doing anything at all.
