But I don't know, it just seems that everytime I try to run a gun battle with destroyers, eventually, if they haven't shelled us to pieces before they get within visual range and I'm still on the surface, as a last resort, they always try to ram. If I am under, or make it under in time, then yes, down comes the hail of wasserbom. But if I stick it out on the surface, I get run into. It just seems too coincidental, that's all.
I believe the UI is set so that the destroyers drive for your position. Sometimes they come straight in, other times they zig-zag on the way in, but at about 400 meters they drive straight in and ping.

If you are on the surface, you will be rammed. If you dive, they will depth charge.

I don't think it is an intentional "ram", it's just that the AI is programmed to run over the sub's position in preparation for depth charging. If you happen to be in the way, so much the better for them.
