Yea, I personally watched just the movies of Zeta and the chosen episodes of the series but did not see Hyaku Shiki deflecting beams like SEED's Akatsuki did. But I admit I assumed that I must missed something when I read this on mahq:

Spoiler for from mahq:

The Hyaku Shiki was assigned to AEUG ace pilot Quattro Bajeena (the incognito Char Aznable - Zeon's "Red Comet" ace from the One Year War). The Hyaku Shiki was painted in a bright, highly distinctive gold paint scheme - ostensibly as a taunt to the Titans to prove that the AEUG could build mobile suits right under their noses - and had a reflective, anti-beam coating. Char would use the Hyaku Shiki as his personal mobile suit until the end of the Gryps Conflict, when it was heavily damaged in a battle against Axis leader Haman Karn's AMX-004 Qubeley in February UC 0088. A second Hyaku Shiki unit was later assigned to the troupe of young new pilots stationed aboard the AEUG's assault carrier Argama

It was really totalled at the end by mega beam spamming from The O and Quebeley.

Even if, for a unit that was getting quite old by the end of the series, it did fairly well, I think Especially with its pilot being like one of the best Zeon veteran pilots ever
