I would still rather be in a 163, you could fly around quite happily without getting hit, then crash............
 
You don't have much chance of surviving in either really. By the time the 163 had come around the Roc was TOTALLY outclassed in the air. Combat in a Roc was a ticket to the afterlife. Of course a lot of the 163's died in a fiery explosion on takeoff or landing and that's not much fun either.
 
If it's hot it'll kill you quicker, a Roc in the air will probably be burning at some point when the Luftwaffe see it.
 
Because if it was a B-25 Mitchell they would been laughing right up until the tip the 14 forward-firing .50cals chewed them to bits.
