Having just read about it, I don’t think the ME 262 was that good because:

1. It broke. A lot. As in, engines flamed out on take off and the pilot died, since it needed 2 engines to stay up.

2. It was extremely vulnerable on take off and landing.

3. It was an unstable weapons platform at speed.

With about six months or a year of time to develop and work out the kinks, I would, however, agree with you.

When P 51s try to either nail you on takeoff or landing, you’re the best.
