But they worked, were sufficiently weaponized, and we were already assembling the 3rd, although we were starting to hold back at that point, to give them time to decide to surrender, and giving us time to debate the proposition of using 5 or more in Operation Olympic, the invasion of southern Kyushuu scheduled in slightly less than 3 months.
