Till now 178.118.173.216 seems to be the only one that understands what I am talking about. I like that he brought up the point that ships with higher HP left seem to take higher damage too, which can be used as a more general rule to explain the scratch damage at taiha.

I think it is very likely something like this is indeed the case and that it is not only RNG. For example, a strong enemy ship can hit your BBs to red in a single attack, but somehow often only manages to chuuha your DDs, despite their much lower armor and HP and barely ever bringing them down to 1 HP in one single hit.

If your ships were firing, you would have outright sunk and overkilled the DD. This is even more visible during PvP.

This implies that there is more to it than the damage formula on this page, wherever that formula came from, and that the damage formula used to calculate damage on your ships is different.
