Convoy attacks at night

So recently I have returned to SH3 with GW installed for the first time and I am now shadowing my first convoy. In the same patrol I've already attacked, successfully, 2 lone merchants, but I couldn't see them until they were 2km away so I had to rely on my watch officer for all my info. How do you guys do it? How do you target different merchants at night with the limitations of the watch officer's "nearest target" option? I don't want to cheat and ask my Weapons Officer for a solution but thinking ahead I can't imagine it going otherwise.
