Off-type armor working?

When off-type armor blocks part of a shot, shouldn't it's icon light up on bottom of the battle screen? I am not seeing this happen and am unsure if my off-type armor is having any effect. As I recall, it is supposed to be enabled as such in this build. If not, please forgive my ignorance.

Also: When accellerating space battle sequences by 5x or more, the weapons no longer train to where the enemy ship will be correctly. They miss by miles and miles.

[EDIT] Found that the reason the weapons don't line up right is because they dont't time scale with the ship's movement. They go the same rate regardless of the time scale setting. This is unfortunate because the main reason I speed up the battle is to get the missles and guns to hit their target sometime today.

Off type armor works extremely well in DL! I tried using tiny hulled ships combined with 1 extremely powerful ship and got creamed!

The idea was to have tiny hulled ships that were reduced enough in firepower not to be targeted first and were quick to build.

But I discovered that at around 5 firepower each, they were unable to inflict any damage on powerful enemy ships even though those ships had none of that weapon type’s defense.
