I made a mission to test ramming when the ship classes are switched from what they were, to Type=1 (corvette).

I had calm sea, on a clear morning. I ran on the surface towards a minesweeper set to be a "corvette" with AI set to elite. He started firing at me at extreme range. He hit me pretty quickly. I never got close enough to see if he'd ram me.

Next try.

I cross his path at 90 degress submerged and stop. When he gets close, I set the depth to 30 (Porpoise Class). I'm decks awash in front of him. He stops maybe 50-100 yards from me and sits there. I shoot some AA at him, and only then does he slowly move forward and ram me.

He took no damage, but either did I. Plugged him a few times with HE and Boom.

I waited a few hours (in TC) for the subchaser, also set to be a corvette, came. He managed to avoid ramming me, so I rammed him and he blew up. (also set to elite).
