Ship Flares - Any mod doing this?

Hi all,

I'm currently reading "Destroyer. An Anthology of First Hand Accounts of the War at Sea 1939 - 1945" edited by Ian Hawkins.

Believe me, this is a very interesting book, and contains many stories of close encounters with U-Boats etc.

Amongst the many, many interesting stories an idea for a mod emerged when I read about convoys being attacked by U-Boats.

It was common practice for the ship under attack to launch a red signal flare to alert the destroyer escorts and to warn other vessels a u-boat is operating against them.

Wouldn't it be cool to see that in SH3?

Picture it - slowly stalking a convoy through the night, finally getting into firing position and launching torps at the first ship. As they strike the ship - or you get a near miss - she launches a bright red flare to alert everyone of your presence and to give the destroyers a location to home in on.

So, question is - does a mod already exisit for this?

Thanks all!
