That may be true for .303's, it is not true for the German light 7.92mm MG's because of the SmK (H) tungsten round, you can pilot kill at as far as 300 meters, even from dead six where the pilot armour should protect.
This contradicts tests both the Germans and British did, which showed that 7.92mm rounds needed to be fired at ranges under 100 meters to have a good chance of penetrating pilot armour.
As I have pointed out before, this is an ahistorical advantage which the German side has been given, the round was not part of the historical 109 loadout, it was a rare round, not generally available, and in short supply.
