The rocket weapons were very much >> ineffective and an inefficient use of resources. > > >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. But the Dornier would have had at least somewhat more precision...
