Re: Me 262 should have been used as a bomber?

The Me 262 couldn't have been introduced into service earlier for the simple fact that there were not enough turbines. BMW and Junkers experienced a lot of troubles with this new technology and lack of nickel and chrom for the turbine blades had a negative effect on the mass-production.
