Similar situation, maybe technically the following would be considered ramming - but may have worked in real life (although it would have been very hazardous).
Used my last torp on a merchant. It started to sink, became partially submerged, but refused to go down. After waiting a few hours (on TC), it hadn't changed.
No more torps, no more deck/aa ammo.
Soooo, not willing to lose the kill I nosed my surfaced VII onto the deck area that was partially submerged, which turned out to add enough weight to the merchant to cause it to continue to sink. I simply ordered reverse once it started to take on water, and watched it go down.
Unorthodox - yes, but did it work - yes!
