Faster bombers resulting in faster fighters is a typical 'arms race'. You can bet the advantage would have swung from side to side throughout the conflict.

Hi, Steve (and others),
What was possibility for Germans to respond with a night fighter of a substantially better performance, able to catch the 'super-Mosquitoes' (ie. bombers that can cruise at 350 mph at 25K, max 400 at 25K, carrying 10-20,000 lbs?) or whatever we call them?
Both Ta-154 He-217 turned out as planes of questionable abilities; 'Moskito' even not possible to be produced? Me-210/410 offered little more (if any) as basis for NFs.
In this scenario (unarmed, with less crew needed - therefore cheaper bomber), RAF can field even more planes - LW has even more trouble?
Not to mention that 'short' 88s are out of game now, with high speed, high cruising bombers, and more capable Flak pieces have less time to shoot their shells?
