Re: Me 262 should have been used as a bomber?
It is apples and oranges here. No jet was able to intercept Spitfire XIX (or rather 19) until MiG-15 arrived. This is mostly related to altitude performance of early jets and is not specific to Meteor. Other limitations of Meteor were, I suppose, cautionary. Allies had no need to push it hard forward, so gradually increasing allowed performances were always on the safe side. On the other hand I recall hearing that Meteor suffered from structural failures, until a simple sollution was offered.
