Actually, bottoming a boat was very dangerous, as you concentrated force on a very small part of the hull, which was designed for the even forces of water pressure. This concentration of force could and did sink boats. The reason you hear stories of getting away with it and don't hear stories of problems is that the ones with problems didn't survive to tell stories.
Don't confuse movies with reality. Bottoming a boat was not done unless it was unavoidable. It certainly didn't qualify as a tactic. The game is correctly configured as is.
