IIRC, the game shows only a very limited number of shell/torpedo damage. After that, you could blow a hundred holes in her, and only a handful will show. As RR said the damage graphics have nothing to do with the actual damage, it just looks nice!

the answer to your question is that many ships in the game have incomplete files so things are missing. in some cases a section of the ship has no damage zone to record damage so you may hit the bow or stern and may or may not see any visual damage but as far as the game works, it doesn't record the ship has damage in any way.

fixing this requires digging deep into each and every ship one at a time to fix this and in some cases its not missing the file entries for it but it may have a borked file that simply doesn't work right and in those cases you would have to recreate a new control file for that ship which takes very advanced mod skills ands a knowledge of computer code writing.

so short answer, yes you can fix some of that stuff but not all of it and lots of the stuff that could be fixed would take many hours of modding and testing all for a brief few seconds of eye candy so most look at it and decide its not worth all that effort
