Well, in the absence of a large number of AA guns it was better than nothing, and in only known low level bombing raid on a Fighter Command airfield during the Battle of Britain it did pluck a German bomber out of the sky and damage another.
My view, not really a war winning weapon, but not a stupid idea.
