I'm sorry but those of you claiming there is no difference are simply wrong, I can sink an NPC Light Sloop with my broadsides with a single volley time and time again, as long as they are not right next to me.
Regardless of how far away it is in PVP (in range), you will be lucky to hit it with 1 or 2 cannon balls out of a volley from a War Frigate or even War Galleon. It could be standing still sniping at targets and you still have a very high chance of missing it all together. Don't forget either that those 2 cannon balls that DO hit only damage it for something in the neighborhood of 34 points of damage each with no previous damage on the ship. That doesn't even take 1/4 off the total health of the ship, as opposed to a single broadside volley against any other ship in the game which does massive amounts of damage.
In PVE (as well as PVP) distance DOES and SHOULD matter when it comes to using Broadsides against smaller ships. The further away while staying in range the better (assuming no change in speed/course of the target). Unfortunately, in pvp as opposed to pve...the shots just don't hit.
