From afar (say 3000 meters), it's hard to be picky, but as close as 1000 meters (in one of those rare ocasions where the merchant isn't armed) you can actually choose a point in the ship where to fire upon. What are the most tender points?
I have better luck shooting the command deck and visible cargo

Also - remember how an Exorcet hit a British cargo ship in the Falklands, but failed to go off, however it sank later due to fire
