I firmly feel that with the strong Allied fighter cover offered late war,the 262 even in large numbers would still have not acheived anything.
As we now know many 262's fell in action, more 262's would just have been more kills for the Mustangs and Thunderbolts.
Just wish the Meteor could have met it in combat

You left out Spitfires and Tempests.
Don't know how accurate this is but one of Green's book it was stated that a Mossie dropped 40 tons of bombs to destroy a V-1 site. The B-25 and B-26 required 182 and 215 tons respectively.
