I would love to know how the sinking mechanics work, not because i am critical, but genuinely amazed!

Encountered a convoy in 15 wind speed and attacked, hit a c3 cargo aft and another midships. C3 remained afloat and didnt break with convoy while the other sank..

yadda yadda 1 1/2 real time later, a sinking message from the c3 cargo!! I had a "WOW" moment and was thoroughly impressed on how the sinking mechanic worked out for that particular ship. Of course, I r/p'd it thinking the flooding was under control, and the crew thought it was fine, until another bulkhead or other component broke under the ferocity of storm and from being weakened by the torpedo, and the ship was unable to be saved.

I would like to know, from a modder perspective, what happened in those DATA files? Simply put for us simpletons.
