This is in fact debatable. Thye V-2 had the range and destructive power 
of a medium bomber, and cost 1/10 as much. By the end of the war, the 
effective lifespan of a German medium bomber was something like 3 
missions. So, 3 V-2's would do as much damage as 1 Dornier, but at 3/10 
the cost, and without losing the crew.

Note: figures are "IIRC."
