but they were dogshit

what jet were dogshit?
P80 and Meteor were far superior,while Cc.2 was just a testbed because of how poor ww2 Italy was

The Campini was also a motorjet, which generally isn't counted as a "real" jet, unless you'd consider pic related to count too.

P80 didn't see any action in WW2, and the WW2 Meteor wasn't much

Germans clearly had the most advanced aerospace program, your a fool if you dont believe other wise.

The german v2 program had like triple the cost of the manhatten project, and resulted in a fucking intercontinental ballistic missle. The first man made object to enter the void of space was a V2

The 229 is mentioned a lot, but it did influence stealth designs well into the future (even if stealth was not it's original intent).

It also had some very impressive features, a super high altitude, speed comparable with korean war jets, flight suits allowing it to operate past 14000m, rocket ejection seats, air brake yaw control, etc

Is this peak wehrabooism?

They were only modestly advanced in very niche, strategically insignificant areas. The Soviets were just behind them in terms of rocketry and by all means had the ability to implement any rocket weapons in a far more strategically significant manner. The Axial-flow turbojets they had may have been the future of jets, but given the technology of the time and near future, the centrifugal-flow designs of the Allies were objectively superior. The Germans arguably had a slightly better understanding of some staples of high-speed design than NACA, but they also lacked a transonic wind tunnel, so any benefit there was going to rapidly run into a dead end. All the fun Luft '46 designs are cool and all, but they're not exactly unique - Northrop was working on flying wings pretty openly in parallel, and pretty much every engineering company had plenty of wildly unconventional proposals, it's just they never had their factories overrun so the proposals end up forgotten in warehouses.

Meanwhile, the Allies had advantages in things that actually mattered. They were far better at building high-powered piston engines that all Axis powers struggled to get working. The Germans may have been able to make pressurized aircraft like the B-29, but they never had anything approaching the mechanical gunsight computers and were far behind us in terms of bomb sights. Allied radars were also far more versatile and generally superior to anything the Germans were fielding.

>Germans clearly had the most advanced aerospace program, your a fool if you dont believe other wise.

They were desperately pushing forward anything that could potentially be a decisive tool against the allies, this normally just ended up begin a huge waste of time and money with virtually all projects becoming toys that the Allies could take home after the war. This does not make them geniuses, it makes them foolish. Many tons of potatoes needed to be processed just to fill one V2 with fuel and Germany was facing major food shortages at the time.

This, the V1 was the only remotely worthwhile project because it was super cheap, but all in all Germans would be probably able to hold out considerably longer if they didn't waste resources on meme weapons and focused instead on things that worked. The British bombing campaign was retarded and crippled Luftwaffe for little to no gain. Jets were a massive waste of resources. Heavy tanks were not cost effective, especially when fuel was concerned, something Germany sorely lacked during late war.

>every nation in ww2 was making advanced shit
>except their advanced shit never saw any relevant action in WW2 while Germany's did
>Germany's advanced shit was literally more advanced than other countries
Wehraboos and anti-Wehraboos are just as fucking bad, you're as retarded as one of those anti-Katana plonkers who think that it would break in half the moment it touched superior Evropean metal

>Germany's advanced shit was literally more advanced than other countries

It was forced into service out of desperation. You don't want to put difficult to use, unreliable, and un-proven equipment into the hand of the inexperienced, which was exactly what Germany did. That and it ignores the fact that the Allies did use some VERY advanced shit during the war.

About three lost per two kills. Isn't that kinda good for the late war Luftwaffe, between the poorly trained pilots and swarms of Mustangs ganging up on them?

Absolutely not when you consider it was nine planes in a year.

>It was forced into service out of desperation
Not true of the Me-262, if anything that one took longer than it should have to reach combat units

even the Brits hate him

yeah maybe that had something to do with scarce materials and massive technological problems

LIKE ENGINES FALLING OFF AFTER 10 HOURS

>if anything that one took longer than it should have to reach combat units

Considering its first batch of engines only lasted about 10 hours, it went into battle as soon as it could have.

>in a year.
So I guess they simply didn't get a lot of flight time between them? They only lost fourteen in that year after all. With the Me163 having a reputation for being extremely hard to land and prone to self-immolate I would have expected a far worse K/D ratio number than 9/14. How was the ratio for the 109 and 190 in that period?

>So I guess they simply didn't get a lot of flight time between them?

The nature of how the aircraft was flown allowed the USAAF to develop tactics to completely render the aircraft useless. It was as simple as positioning fighters in the correct places.

>How was the ratio for the 109 and 190 in that period?

It fluctuated wildly, but was better the first half of '44 but dropped pitifully as the war progressed. The modified Fw-190's seemed to usually claim an aircraft each time they went up.

>K/D ratio number than 9/14

I think thats only combat losses, not accidents.

IIRC late 262 models armed with rockets used to rape bombers, but and as much as I hate to say this because it was repeated by almost everyone, it was too little too late, German production was garbage as always, even if those fuckers were invincible they could not have destroyed enough bombers to save the war. Even if they did manage to completely stop the bombings the war was pretty much lost anyway.

Definitely, the 262 was always a threat to the bombers. Though even if they did produce a ton of them earlier on, the fact is that they simply didn't have the fuel or the experienced pilots to fly them.

>implying there were german bombers to hunt with jet interceptors in 44/45

In any future conflict, how much of America's military depends on the idea of technologically advanced?

We have an example of ww2. America & Russia beat Germany through sheer numbers, manufacturing and resources. Technologically they were inferior.

Could you argue that China could beat America because of the same strategic ethos?

Is this a meme? Am I being memed on? Where's the fire exit?

>a flying wing made out of wood
>pinnacle of aerospace innovation

wehrboos lmao

Germans didn't even have proximity fuzes lmao

The allies were absolutely not technologically inferior to the Axis. The Germans stood out in that they had some minor advantages in niche, strategically insignificant areas (rocketry and high speed flight), but were behind the curve in any area that actually mattered. They didn't have a transonic wind tunnel (nobody would until after WW2), so any high speed flight advantage was going to be minimal, and the Soviets realistically had better prospects for getting something strategically useful out of their rocket program.

And meanwhile, the Allies had better radars, better piston and jet engines, better high-altitude aircraft, proximity fuses, vastly superior ships - the list goes on and on. The meme of "we just beat them through sheer numbers" comes from the fact that the idea that we beat some massively technologically superior superpower through good old grit and determination makes for a better story than the nation-state equivalent of a couple of retards sucker punching the biggest guys in the bar and then getting the everloving shit beat out of them.

>this thing looks advanced, it HAD to be Nazi Science, r-right?

Germans had pretty advanced tv-guided versions of Fritz X and Hs293 almost ready for combat at the end of war. Operationally deployed ones used flares as reference for manual control from launch aircraft. Germans probably fucked up by deploying those in Sicily and Italy as by Normandy landings allies had effective jamming systems to fuck up radio link between launch platform and bomb/missile.

Fuck forgot the picture, couple hundred burgers

>Germans probably fucked up by deploying those in Sicily and Italy as by Normandy landings allies had effective jamming systems to fuck up radio link between launch platform and bomb/missile.

Pretty much, these weapons effectiveness dropped massively once the Allies developed jamming equipment. They also may have inadvertently also ruined their hopes with their surface to air missile program that operated on the same principle.

Could a wire guided variant have been developed at that point or was the material technology not ready at that time? Wire guided torpedoes are late 50s tech, right?

Fritz X made Italians pay the toll for switching sides.

Only aircraft that use wire guided missiles on regular basis are helicopters. X-4 air to air missile Germans were developing used wire guidance, but it never entered service so reliability of wire guidance might be an issue as wire may break. Reason for that was the jamming of Hs293 and Fritz X.

Which wasn't the fault of the V2 in any way, but the fact that German intelligence was 100% compromised, to the point that every single agent they thought they had operating in Britain was either fictional or a double agent, purposefully misdirecting V2 fire by giving them false adjustments.

It is kinda funny that a single V-2 killed 567 people and injured 296. Guys were in cinema in Antwerp watching pic related when it took a direct hit. Most of them being US service men.

Germans literally fired more V-2's at Antwerp than they fired at UK. They fired more of 'em to Antwerp than to all other targets combined.
