Even if SPATGM unit it is not found out, all hex precisely is underlined (on it the cursor).
Probably to correct it ?

No - this is the basic Steel Panthers game engine code. The hex of the firer is shown as part of the graphics sequence to animate the shot sprite travel across the map.
Same as the fact that the message code is displayed to
both users, so you get the full info on the firer (e.g "tiger") and what type of gun is fired (88, say) and what firing range even if the firer is hidden to you.
It has been that way since 1996 or whatever, and will always remain so. It would require a
completely new game engine redesigned from the ground up to get rid of the foibles of the old DOS engine.
