I think I've started noticing this myself.
On certain ships both direct and glancing shots that hit the bow, stern, or even sometimes dead middle of a ship seem to do little to no damage at all. But there are soft spots, depending on the ship, like between the ends and fore and aft of the middle that is soft as goo. And a good direct hit from the perfect 90degree shot brings them down in one hit every time.
Also on most ships a dead middle shot straight up the butt gets them every time, but get it anything out of 90" square and they recieve middling damage to very little. But I think it all depends on the ship and I think I'm thinking of the "low" areas on ships as the softest spots of all.
