Typically, it'll use a shaped charge warhead, which channels the blast to create a small hole in the side of the vehicle. The force of this blast penetrates through the armour and into the vehicle, and that's what kills the crew members inside. There's also HESH - High Explosive Squash Head - which basically splatters explosives over the side of the vehicle and detonates, causing a greater area of damage than a HEAT round.

What are heat missiles specfically designed to attack?

Heat is actually an acronym, properly written as HEAT, which stands for High Explosive Anti-Tank. Its primary purpose is part of the name: HEAT projectiles are primarily designed for use against armored vehicles, with a secondary use against fortified structures. They are designed to penetrate large amounts of hard substances, and are particularly effective against steel alloys.
