[REL] Ship damage from fires

I finally had the opportunity to see if this mod works, and I must say that I believe it does. I play with RFB which has adjusted the sink rates of ships to realistic times based on flooding instead of hitpoints. The one thing that I hardly ever saw was the big secondary explosions after almost every torpedo impact like the stock game has.

After installing this mod, I torpedoed a Old Raked Bow Merchant. One of the torpedoes hit smack under the stack after which followed a secondary explosion setting the thing ablaze. The ship still took a realistic time to go down, but IMHO I do believe the fires sped up the process a bit. I like it! Not overdone like the damage from stock explosions, but something you could believe. Lets face it, fire dose cause damage and destruction! I think I'm gonna keep this one!
