Crazy since this is a big what if anyway, what year are you talking about. As I mentioned earlier if the 262 had been introduced earlier say in 42 things would have turned out differently. By 1945 the Luft 46 conceptual designs were almost ready for test, some on the drawing board and some through trials. The Me 262 was supposed to be fazed out in a matter of moths and new Messcherschmidt and Focke Wulf designs were in the makings to be the top fighters to take on US high altitude P-51's. The Ta 152 was to take on protective duties for the jets as the y took off and landed. You have mentioned an important issue of the lack of long range of the 262 which is true but again what if the fighter force of the Luftwaffe was equipped wholly with the jet for starts. Every Geschwader overlapped in it's coverage over the Reich and the communications system in 1945 was not at a total loss so there was no probelm monitoring the activity of Luftwaffe versus Allied a/c contacts.
Alos new jet bombers were on the rise with outperforming the Arado jet in speed and long range performance. Two prototypes come to mind that were supposed to be able the far reaches of the Soviet realm without problem of interception.......isn't the What if's a kick in the butt !
