True, but in BoB (where the 111 was at least somewhat “competitive“), the British were firing 303s. It wouldn’t have been too difficult to armor up the stepped cockpits a bit, and at least give the 111 crews a chance. The Ju88s had the same issue in protection and defensive firepower. Although with those water cooled engines, being hosed down with 303s would probably ruin your day regardless.
