Too risky for me i'm afraid,but nice tactic if it works as well as you say it does.There were parts in Iron Coffins where ramming was mentioned,but it was generally suicidal to do so

Ramming damage is rather unpredictable... I must have split destroyers from bow to stern with my periscope accidentally: I didn't even lose the scope and the destroyer sank a lot faster than it would have after a torpedo hit.
