Realistic Ship Sinking Times

Here's what I think is going on:

Realistic sinkings off = short time to sink, more interesting sinking motion.

Realistic sinkings on = short time to sink, less interesting sinking motion.

It now seems the developers didn't even try to adjust the time it takes for ships to sink. If what people are saying here is true, this setting is all about the motion of the ship as it sinks. With Realistic sinking times set to 'on' I've certainly never noticed anything like the interesting sorts of pictures of sinking ships that others have posted. The ships I've sunk all go down fairly uneventfully and boringly.
