That sounds like something that only works in theory. Hitting it perfectly frontal is nearly impossible, and then it'll continue to rub on one of the sides after the first impact.
Also remember that much of the crew thought the Titanic was unsinkable (at least that's what popular books and movies suggest...), so an attempt to hit it frontally in order to provide more damage seems quite far off.

Captain: I said FULL SPEED! Aerial Titanic etc...
