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

I have a question too: why did the Germans introduce the R4M so late?

Was there some technological barrier to be overcome or did they spend time on more complex anti-bomber ideas (big guns, bigger guided rockets) before coming back to the relative simplicity of an unguided rocket?

Supplementary question: does anyone know what kind of smoke trail an R4M left, if any? Dense, thin, black, white?
