In a sense kinda; armor piercing is considered an elemental mod. Assuming an enemy has no weakness or resistance to armor piercing; a charge attack that does 100 damage with a mod that gives 15% armor piercing would do 100 + 15 damage. Two numbers should show up, a 100 and a 15. Most enemies have armor that reduces your damage done to them. The damage from the armor piercing element is not lowered by the enemies armor value. Elements like fire and ice however, have their damage reduced by enemy armor. In summary armor piercing does not increase base charge damage, but adds bonus damage = a percentage of your total charge damage
