Default can you ram ships with the sub?

I have tried this ramming but my sub just bounces off can you actually sink the ships by doing this??

I hope not. It wouldn't work in real life.

Yes at least in patched vanilla you can give a ship the "last push" when he has heavy flooding, but won't sink.
Doesn't work all the time though.

Not very realistic like is it ? :hmm:
You'll nearly always come off second best in the damage stakes as well
