As noted by CCIP, fires are only eye candy.

The fire & smoke zones, are small zones added to the ships that have nothing to do with sinking it.

Also as noted by CCIP, they work as all zones work, so after 'x' amount of HP's the zone is damaged and thus a fire and/or smoke appears.

I see.

Seems that we are missing some of the realism because of this.

After all, if an oil bunker should become engulf in flames, it would or should explode or at least add to the damage factor. This of course would apply to any warship if a torpedo hit the ammo bunkers.

Too bad this cant be modded differntly.
