Default Torpedos hitting lifeboats?

I am just wondering if this has happend to anyone else. I set a MK14 to shallow as possible, and with the aid of the waves it slammed into a lifeboat before it reached the intended target. It made me very sad. It also left me wondering, because this only happend once in my many hours of SH, if it was just a lucky premature

Dont know if mods affect anything, but Im using RFB + RSRDC

I suppose the large lifeboats have some draft, a shallow torpedo could prob hit it.I am sure it decimated the boat or wouldve in real life.

Yes. 25,000 Reichsmarks. A currency declared obsolete in 1948. So all German torpedoes are free.

I think you have to talk to either Tom Petty or Admiral Farragut. I'm not sure which.
