Battle of Germany= Could LW have done better?

Obviously it would depend on when the Germans tried to take the battle to Britain but the British defences shouldn't be underestimated. The flak guns alone had a good success rate against V1's with radar direction and proximity fuses. Whilst the nightfighters were very strong.
 

Erich - the reason for me sending you a lot of the ones that Mike doesn't have is to help you (and me) get a sense on the times and locations for each of the squadron's engagements - both for July 7 and Nov 26.

I finally figured out the July 7 massacre at Bernburg. The 8th 'forked out' too many separate attacks that day for the Long Range escorts to adequately cover.. The Leipzig Task Force from 2AD was covered by 355th and the Bernburg by the 4th - but the 4th was positioned to the center and rear and the entire focus it seems was the LW controllers laid a two pronged attack of me 410s on the Bernburg effort. The 4th was able to turn back beat off the attack on the rear but the lead CW's got hammered by the second force.

I asked Dr. Muller at Maxwell to help me find the 7 July and 26 November Mission Summaries for 8th - the same that we had for 24 April.
 

Presumably they could have had the 262 operational in the fall of '43, what was the production capacity then? How much longer would it take to train LW pilots on the jet?
 
Any thoughts on the V-1 or V-2 or were they too late for this scenario?

Stopping production and developement on inferior or outlandish designs I think would help immensly, as you say drgn.
