Re: Me 262 should have been used as a bomber?
If my memory serves me correctly didn't Eric Brown the famous British Test Pilot say the Me 262 was probably the best aircraft he had ever flown (I think it was during some documentary on Discovery). He flew practically all British aircraft types, as well as many American and Axis types.
However even if the aircraft possessed great performance it would count for nothing if plagued with serviceability problems, used in the wrong role, grounded due to lack of fuel or unavailable in sufficient numbers which the Me 262 often was.
A revolutionary aircraft but too little too late.
