Yeah I get the whole realism thing and i know planes are a sub's worst nightmare when riding on the surface. In reality though a 20 mm gun would tear the hell out of any plane from that era. I mean, it's a plane, its not heavily armored otherwise it probably wouldn't take off.

The reason why they went to 37mm was because all too frequently they could hit Liberators, Sunderlands and even Hudsons all day with 20mm without apparent effect. Even the famous quad-20mm was less effective than the Bofors gun.
And yes, the four engined LRMP's and most of the twins were armoured, some more than others.
