So this is what happens when you ram a torpedo form the side. v.redd.it/5zszo7qix9371
Don't you hate when your about too Torpedo one of The Biggest ships in The World and then the U - Boat malfunctions and The Ship rams you and sinks you. Smh

Behold the Fenian Ram. One of the first torpedo equipped submarines, the IRB commissioned it to harass British shipping. When they found they couldn't afford it, they stole it from its inventor, only to find nobody but him could pilot it and he was, understandably, unwilling to train them.
[1083 x 565] For years now, I've always likened the bows of Torpedo Rams (depicted here: USS Alarm) to Jay Leno's chin.
Final moments of the U-550, scuttled after being fatally wounded by American destroyers off the US East Coast on 16 April 1944. The U-550 torpedoed the tanker Pan Pennsylvania, after which it was driven to the surface by depth charges, rammed, and blasted with gunfire. 12 of the 54 crew survived.

U-boat crew abandons ship off the US coast in April 1944. The U-550 torpedoed a tanker east of New York but was then immediately depth charged & rammed by US destroyers. 12 of the U-550’s crew survived. Note the damage visible on the conning tower.

MF got hit by my last 4 Torpedo's still doesn't sink. Shot at him with my flak until all ammunition was gone. In a desperate last attempt I tried ramming, but this Joker just started carrying my U-boat. If my crew wasn't dead he'd probably take me all the way to Portsmouth.

Italian sailors lined up to salute the old torpedo boat Generale Achille Papa, returning to port after ramming and sinking submarine HMS Cachalot. Tripoli, 2 August 1941

Two of my teammates rammed me and took me as a tank (I got hit by 10 torpedoes at least i protected another battkeship and a cruiser......)

How i imagine naval pvp will go down once the subs run out of torpedoes. Ramming speed!!!! v.redd.it/ckeca9ff80161

For the curious amongst you: Yes, you can take a Torpedo by ramming it from behind! v.redd.it/osst6l283wz51
In Raptor Rescue, anyone can sabotage the match by ramming Raptor into an island or force it to stay stationary, thus getting hit over and over by torpedoes. This can make the team fail in less than ten minutes.
Just had a match where one person in his Leander told us "I'm going to ram the CV into the island so we fail the match.". That's exactly what he did.
The only thing I have found that can hopefully stop us from failing was physically placing my ship between Raptor and the island, so Raptor's hull would deflect off mine and continue forward. However, this particular minge kept ramming Raptor so it couldn't really move, letting the first wave of enemy ships torp it to death.
What would be a potential fix for this? Allowing TK'ing wouldn't fully solve it, as the one person to kill the saboteur would get hit with a TK penalty; besides, it just opens another door for trolls to screw over the team. I frankly believe that having a scenario that entirely relies on AI pathfinding in itself is not going to be very enjoyable (multiple times have I failed this scenario because Raptor refuses to try and dodge torps and the like).
The American Civil War featured some well-known naval engagements, with ironclads, mines (torpedoes), steamboats, submarines, and rams, fought on rivers and coasts. Did American naval fighting in the Civil War lead to any lasting changes in European naval doctrines or tactics?
Went to give medical aid to damaged U-1009. Captain thanked me, then immediately rammed me, damaging my stern torpedo tube and sunk himself in the process...
Cliff Kysor’s Torpedo Plane. It was shaped like a torpedo to minimize drag, not for ramming into ships. (Ca. 1950)
When you become the torpedo...couldn’t shoot the sub- so I rammed him!

TIL that Imperial Japanese pilot Sakio Komatsu tried to save his home carrier Taiho by kamikaze ramming an oncoming torpedo. Though he did manage to set that torpedo off, another one hit and sunk the Taiho. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS…
