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

The late-war PR Mosquitos flying at maximum height more or less operated with impunity. It seems that both German turbines and piston engines were less efficient and reliable above 35,000 feet than paper estimates might suggest.

So far I have read of just one recorded attempt by a Ta 152 pilot to catch a high-flying Mosquito and the interception was not successful.
