"unknown"(?) hit locations in combat log

[BathTubAdmiral]

Since IIRC 1.10 I have started seen log entries like this:

09 18:04 6 in 8354 yds Superstructure hit BE (BB Schleswig-Holstein, HE)
09 18:04 4 in 7401 yds Hull hit (BB Rheinland-Pfalz, HE)
09 18:04 4 in 6669 yds Hull hit BE (BB Schlesien, HE)

... which are missing the hit location.

What should I make of this - is this working as intended?

Add.: And what is "Superstructure BE" ... isn't the belt on the hull?

I'm fairly certain BE does not protect the entire hull, so that would indicate a round that hit an unarmored section, similar to a superstructure hit.

For me a bit of confusion sets in with how a round can fail to penetrate the BE, but also hit the superstructure. The only scenario I can envision would be a passthrough that strikes the "inner" side of the belt, but that doesn't really fit.

I've gotten a couple hits on my ships which just say "09 18:04 4 in 7401 yds"
No location of impact, no word on firing ship.

I think this is a case where the BE extends up far enough to protect the superstructure.

I got this too now - looks like this happens if the firing ship wasn't properly IDed yet?

[BathTubAdmiral]

Nope, cannot be the identification - or the game is giving away that the 1 ship that can shoot my CL is mis-IDed ?!
