Default Sequential sinking sounds - Possible?

Hello subsimmers

Not long ago I made a sinking sound mod

I showed it to a discord group about naval games and they loved it
However while discussing it, I came up with an idea that given the game knows when a ship starts her plunge and starts playing the 'scufundare vapor' loop, would it be possible to make it recognize different phases of sinkings?

Like, i mean:
Flooding, slowly sinking - creaks and small groans
Sinking speeds up (deck submerged) - more violent creaks, groans, sounds of bending, stressed metal
Plunge begins - rushing water inside the ship, rumbles, deep groans, even more violent creaks and groans, bulkheads collapsing, maybe screaming people
Ship fully sinks - screaming people stop, only some deep rumbles and bangs would be heard as machinery gets displaced, walls, structures getting torn apart, hull imploding as the ship plunges into the dark depths

I may be asking for too much, I know nothing about modding besides designing sounds
Yes I kind of have a sinking ship fetish

While we are at sinking ships, let me thank our modders, how well they made sinkings

It's just mind blowing how well flooding is modeled. Let's say I hit a ship on the starboard side around the bow
She starts listing to starboard and starts sinking very slowly. Then as the deck and the forecastle get underwater, the sinking speeds up a bit, not by much but it's noticeable. As the water reaches the superstructure or the bridge (depending on the design of the ship) the ship begins her plunge, the list corrects itself and the sinking speeds up by a lot. Then as the stern is about to submerge, the remaining air pockets fight against the force of the ship pulling it down so it slows down or the stern stays up for one or two minutes before the air pockets rupture and the ship takes her final plunge towards the bottom


This thing took 3 hours and 23 minutes to sink (my all time record)
It took about 3 hours and 10 mins for the forecastle to submerge, then barely over 10 minutes until it disappeared under the waves
