Yup. Essentially our 20mm's are slugs/armour piercing with the possibility to detonate the second the tip of the shell hits the aircraft skin.
What this does is create a loud bang that sends miniature debris and a small shockwave towards the surface, perhaps shredding it a tiny bit and denting it.
Once we get the proper mineshells which I believe were designed to explode a little after impact (inside the fuselage) this should severely improve damage dealt to aircraft structure. Once the 110's get their proper MGFF/M's and the 109E4 with MGFF/M's make their appearance the brits will be suffering wingloss syndrome all the time.
