On April 7th 1945 60 Me-262's shot down 25 allied bombers over Westphalia without losing a single plane. (25 bombers wait ripe).
Typically, the jets would dive below the bomber formations, throttle down and make a high-G climb to lose speed before leveling off and firing their rockets. (G-load disaster from the rate of climb).
In 1945, a single squadron of 45 Me-262 fighters claimed 427 kills, 300 of which were heavy bombers. (...how red were the skies... it was dark over Westphalia)
