Did you also mention how the Allies countered the combination of ME-262 and R4M rockets which in this TL would have been far more numerous than OTL? Because if some 50 ME-262 which fired 2500 of these rockets destroyed some 400 Allied aircraft in 1.5 months, then hypothetically 1000 ME-262 with 300 000 fired R4M´s would have destroyed 48 000 Allied aircraft in the 9 month period from April to December 1945. In other words the Allied bomber offensive is defeated in 1945 and the Allies have no prospect of invading the continent. How does the war go on into 1946/47?
No, I didn't.
Mainly because you data is incorrect. As other have pointed out your source regarding the success of the weapon is incorrect. USAAF records (which have to account for every single aircraft, since someone signed for them) are clear on the point. On the day you use as your calculation source the WAllied did not fly the number of bombers you state, losses were not what you state, and your supposition is, frankly, unsupportable.
TOTAL USAAF 8th AF bomber losses in March of 1945 amounted to 124 aircraft, in April of 1945 bomber losses TOTALED 87 aircraft, in May of 1945, there were NO losses over Europe (mainly because the 8th AF was almost exclusively being used to drop food parcels in Holland) from all reasons, including mechanical failure, flak and fighters. In the last 2.5 MONTHS of the war 8th AF losses were 211 aircraft. The only way you can even reach 400 total losses is to include all escort fighter losses.
Your further supposition, namely that the WAllies would not adapt if necessary is also incorrect.
I would recommend that, before you continue to ask questions, you read the T/L. Or do not read it if you believe it is a simple Allied-wank.. If you wish to criticize it, based on the work itself, feel free. Please do not throw easily disproved figures out, it does nothing to improve my future work, generates needless acrimony, and will tend to make your future contributions suspect.
