Special attacks, cut-ins and double-taps, cannot miss, I believe. Their 'miss' will be displayed as scratch damage (6-14% of target's current HP).

Nighttime double-tap has near 100% chance to proc, as opposed to nighttime cut-in that relies on luck stat, ship placement, ship's condition (HP), and external sources (equipment). In exchange, certain nighttime cut-in can deal more damage than double-tap.

Daytime, however, is a little more complicated. Their chance to proc is independent on luck, and non-weapon equipment plays a larger role (namely AP Shells, Radars, and/or Seaplanes). I suggest you to read tables under the section 'Artillery Spotting'.
