Also new to SH5, I just installed the Wolves of Steel mod after playing (and getting extremely frustrated with...) vanilla for a couple days. Does the mod cause fires and flooding to actually damage ships? I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.
The final straw for me in vanilla was engaging a convoy with my deck gun after running out of torps. I put 20-30 AP shells into a Liberty ship before running out of ammo, she was burning from stem to stern and had 13 holes all along the length of the ship that were partially or completely below the waterline. I sat next to her for a long time on 32x hoping she would finally sink, but she never did.
