Could you digest your post to point out exactly what you are suggesting, and could you provide a source other than an operations report. (Operations reports are notoriously inaccurate. Read the USN and Japanese Operations Reports for Midway for examples of raw wishful thinking.) Again and again. To my knowledge, no confirmed kill was ever credited to an ME-262. Given that more than 1,400 of them entered service, this seems odd, but the doctrine was so fatally flawed and the pilots flying them so raw, that it is surprising any of them ever took off.
