S!
Sometimes I really wonder how many here work on planes and I mean really maintain and dig in them etc. You would see that 20mm HE inside structure is NOT good
Nor will a stream of bullets make your wing aerodynamically better when losing panels or getting gaping holes.
What we have is a game that has to make compromises between playability and performance. So only thing we can really ask for is that the DM is consistent and tweaked accordingly.
