Yeah, normally I try to aim at the bow. I was with one torpedo left and heading home when I came across a large merchant. That one torpedo hitting it's bow was enough. But be careful, on pleasant days and seas, the ship will have ample room to avoid your warshot. So try using higher torpedo speeds.
Generally I use two shots at bigger game, and if I swing to use my stern tube, well, that's one shot and that's when I aim towards the bow. Maybe it has something to do with the bow flooding and the engines driving it to the bottom, like the physics of a submarine diving.
Capital ships, on the other hand, fire away with everything you got.
