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

You are right difficult to understand the non use the low technology weapon like rockets, if we use the cumbersome Wgr.21, but further against bombers after the satisfactory use at year end of the R4M, during for example the Korean war it was used cannons. Before the advent of the guided-rockets the cannon was certainly the best compromise, the americans re-introduce it in the F4 even.

An other explanation is that idot-rockets are not german-weapons, Germany in the first part of the century was the show-window of the world science they stole 60 % of the nobel prices in the scientific categories, the french quite achieve this figure too ...but in litterature.
