Werner,

Great news on NSM4 - we all appreciate the update! You do some really great work!

Now if I understand what your wanting to know - should fire mean an ship that is going guaranteed to sink? No. I would have fire add a small amount of damage and be done. Realistically, fire is as dangerous as flooding to a ship (HMS Sheffield is an example) but if the engine won't allow various fire effects, its best to limit them on the conservative side in my view. Let fires do some additional damage, then let them just either burn out or be eye candy.

The only way I can see fire being a "guaranteed" sinking is if you can make fire so hard to create that it means the ship is doomed anyway. Not sure if thats doable. Plus - if a fire means a sunk ship - then tankers are going to be way to easy to sink!

Again - great news Werner, and if I can help just let me know!
