Hi!

The explosion and fire effects are more spectacular, but the hit points, damage caused by weapons hits, zones, etc., remain the same as without using EDE.

Sometimes you see the results more quickly than if the ship merely sank beneath the waves, but I attribute that (from a realism perspective) to things like steam explosions in the boiler room, etc., that can occur as the result of flooding a steam ship's boiler room, flammable or hazardous stores (chemicals and such) in the cargo, etc., that are not strictly modeled in Silent Hunter III.
