Imperfections may have existed in British and American cockpit plexiglass, but they were minor compared to the Soviet problems. Their glass was often cloudy, of varying thickness and warped, creating distortions and making it very difficult to spot opponents.
That was the reason pilots preferred to fly with an open cockpit.
