If you chain an aircraft like the 110 to the slow-moving bomber formations the results are predictable. The defending fighters can bounce them at will and they're too heavy to get to any speeds useful in combat. Fact is they had the range, the firepower and the speed to be used in fighter sweeps which could have created all sorts of issues for the RAF (such as attacking squadrons taking off or assembling, strafing runs against airfields and parked aircraft, picking off damaged fighters trying to limp back to their base etc). But the Luftwaffe choose not to. Talk about utter failure of common sense.
