What happens when your uboat gets rammed by a destroyer ?

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.

yeah i noticed they were falling over when i had a couple of depth charges dropped next to me and the sub was rocking, also the floor in the command area will flood

thats strange, I recall reading somewhere that some destroyers/escorts were reinforced to be able to ram uboat.

...or is that a hollywood phenomena? Just like hollywood 'invented' that gunmen get thrown back after being shot dead.
