not only did they not reach their design speeds they weren't as agile or stable as they found in flight testing so I doubt they would make good fighters. I agree the Lerche is a complete guess but the likes of the Ta-183 looks credible.
Do you really want a US 1946 plane that os going to get busted the minute it gets into the air?
Your statement sounded arrogant, no offense to you. It is not wise to assume thing on your own and not all US experimental plane were rubbish.

Pathetic. Your simplistic historical thoughts are telling.
All of these designs flew, unlike this BS fantasy Luft-crap we have in game now. And most did it BEFORE 1945. Quite frankly, I'm sick and tired of everyone downplaying US / British technological innovation in WW2. The Germans were smart, but they weren't the only ones.
Maybe so but so much of US tech gravy-trains German without giving due credit. And why go into detail about stuff that's fake anyway.
Fake? You OBVIOIUSLY have not watched the video I sent you in my previous post. I posted video of YB-35 and YB-49 giant flying wings. Before you claim they are fake, please watch the video and accept the fact that they EXISTED and FLEW!
I am quoting my own post, in case you missed it.
Quote:struwwelpeter,
YB-35 (propeller version) and YB-49 (jet version) actually existed and flew. Here is videos on these experimental bombers that US have done with these giant flyng wings:
