I'll probably regret wading into this, but in 'Wings of the Luftwaffe' by Captain Eric Brown there are two pictures of a BF110C-4 (Werk-Nr 2177) which was forced down at Goodwood on 21 July 1940, and you can see there is no extended pitot.
In another picture, a C-4 captured in 1944 does show one. Presumably this was a modification, assuming that the extended pitot, having been added to later series, performed better.
Zorin is merely being 'frank', and as English is not his first language, we should cut him some slack. There are plenty of posters here for whom English is their first language but who still engage in very rude exchanges.
