The P-51D, 109A8, 190D9, N1K2, Yak-9U,Spit14, were mass produced and served more then 2 months and were the backbone of their respective airforces at the time.
the me163 is a gimmic and well restricted to HQ defense besides being perked.
what would you do with a B-29? have a Lanc with more guns then a B-17 suicied dive bomber?
what effect did it have on the war? Entering service while it was no longer needed and carring a big fat bomb that you don't even need to aim with, dropped from the stratosphere?
uniqe rare planes are nice to have - perked. Still, "we" don't need them.
