Question on interface display detail

[jztemple]

When I mouse over an enemy I am shooting at, I sometimes see a display similar to what I've posted below:

Am I to assume that the red is thickest armor, yellow in between, and green thinnest of the three? Is this just for informative purposes or would I use this information to make some decision? Maybe a dumb question, but what the heck, I might as well ask 😐

Yes, and it is relative to your current angle and distance. (The angle next to ricochet is the offset from being directly to the side).  The thinner line that extends somewhat above the deck and overlaps superstructure is the deck armor (which change relative strength only with distance, not the relative angle between ships.

Thanks, that helps for my understanding.
