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.
After the port of Antwerp was opened to cargo ships it became the primary target of the V1/V2 weapons. Evidently they had little effect as you dont find any complaints about a disruption of Allied Suply through that port.

The Remagen bridge had dozen or so fired at it with little effect on th traffic crossing there.
