[REL] Ship damage from fires

I know little about modding, but I can tell you what is in the documentation for RFB. The Real Fleet Boat has a damadge model that is based on the flooding of compartments. It often takes quite a while for ships to sink, but not always (there are 'critical hits' sometimes). Shelling a ship, often causes fires, but does not sink them, unless there are a significant number of hits near the waterline. This can seem odd, as it is possible to have raging fires aboard a ship, which means very little. The fires are essentially eye-candy here. I hope this answers part of your question.

Edit- There is also the matter of ships not counting when they 'sink' in shallow water.
