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

As an afterthought - what would it have mattered if the Germans has built thousands more conventional fighters ? What use would they have been without the fuel to fly them ?

Right.
But let's push the reasonning to its limits.
Had they had thousands more fighters, maybe they would have prevented the 8th AF from shattering their synthetic oil plants?
But we are on the brink of a new "what if?" and I am not into that kind of game. What did really happen is complex enough to understand, we don't need to look for what could have happened.
