I'd say an apology by the DD skipper would be much appreciated.

Just kidding... well, I hope that a DD crashing into a sub at full speed will cause a bit more damage than in (stock) SHIII where you'd usually get a bent periscope or two.

I think I even remember one time after a ramming the DD actually sunk while I had a damaged AA mount...

IRRC there was a bug in SH3 where if you hit a DD just right u could sink it and take no damage yourself

hopefully you hear some gawd awful screeching noise, everyone in the boat is freaking out running around like chickens with their heads cut off, someone is screaming ALARM, the boat is flooding, and you, the captain, are readying stern torpedoes for a snapshot.

when down in the command room you will see your crew fall over when the sub gets hit and tilts to one side, and yes there is a terrible screeching sound

Oh cool! Does your crew react to depth charging too?

Because it looks like you can't die, I'm guessing if you get pinned against the periscope housing a la Schepke, you get +25 damage to your lower extremites and are forced to hobble around the boat at half-speed.

I agree with the general concensus. SH3 and SH4 had problems with destroyers sinking after ramming you, and your boat pretty much unharmed. The destroyer should take some damage, but the player shouldn't be around to see how much.
