I remember asking why the V rockets were'nt used on D-Day a long time ago. They were'nt
accurate enough to hit the beaches.
Using them as a terror weapon did'nt bring the British morale down as Hitler wanted. I was under the impression that the Panther and the ME-262 were secret weapons but they did'nt change the outcome either.
I think the only time the V2 would had any impact in the war is if the Germans had a atom bomb
Just finished JG 7book & when you start reading how unreliable the jet engine was & how many good pilots died in accidents it does not add up
