Herman Goering ordered them to fly close escort the bombers, thus lost all their advantages.

They are strictly a first-strike warplane, and need close cooperation in case EA got on 6 (the MG-15 TG was hardly adequate).

The Hurricane was slower, but can out maneuver the 110, a Spit was more then match.

OH, the purpose of the 2ed crew, the TGer, was NOT for the BB gun in rear, but to switch the 60 round, 15kg MG-FF cannon magazines, a difficult task even in level light!

Ok, I forgot how much the 60 round drum weighs, but know for fact the MG-15 magazine is 4.5Kg loaded, pretty hefty.
