It also wasn't produced in significant numbers until many of the best Luftwaffe pilots were already dead. Excellent equipment can't make up for lack of training and experience. My favorite crazy Luftwaffe aircraft has to be the He-162. The premise was, strap a jet engine on top of a cheap, lightweight plywood plane, simple enough that it could be built underground by slave labor. Oh, and it was supposed to be operable by minimally trained Hitler Youth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinkel_He_162 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinkel_He_162
