State of the Ram

Does anyone else feel the Ram is too squishy? Even with constant buffs you are probably going to have it die with any sort of defense at all. Who thinks this is a fun mechanic?

Some maths here and i don't know all the numbers so having to try work some out with a stopwatch and testing, someone can perhaps correct me:
- 2 star keep Ram
- 8 secs per hit on the door, average hit 3% = 100 / 3 = 34 hits to take 1 door down
- Equates too 272 secs + 15 secs to get the ram to the door and working + 60 secs avoiding Oil = 347 secs, nearly 6 minutes to destroy 1 door
- Cannon does 1% damage to ram, unlimited ammo on keep defences, not player spawned cannons, 5 secs per shot, so 1 cannon can do 100% damage to the ram in 100 shots, so 1 cannon can kill ram in 5 secs x 100 = 500 secs.
- Player does average 0.5% damage to ram per hit re-spawn and suicide jump to ram in 35 secs, so 9 times hitting ram for at least 0.5% = 4.5% damage per player minimum, often 1.5% (13.5%) before they die. This means it takes 100% / 4.5% = 23 players jumping at the ram attacking it to kill it minimum, likely 100% / 13.5% = 8 players suiciding can kill the ram by the time it destroyed the first door. Or 1 player hits the ram 200 times, 3 minutes of hitting the ram, a couple of healed and cross-guarded tanks can easily manage this and perhaps that's not right?.
