strange, eh? sub vs ships: ramming

The game is kind of messed up that way.

That said, ramming is something no real-life sub commander would ever attempt. You risk losing your torpedo tubes at the very least.

Wasn't it also a bug that you could ram ships from underneath them and they would sink? I seem to remember something like that, but I think it was in pre 1.4 releases..

Just recently a destroyer rammed me and I think my conning tower ripped out his belly.

I'm on 1.4.
