Agreed. The Supermarine Spitfire as well. The FW190 needs to be included and possibly the ME109. The ME262 was an excellent fighter aircraft, but better as an interceptor. Its primary detractor was maintenance. The finest multi-role was the F4U Corsair and the P40 should receive honorable mention.
Don’t forget the P-47 or the often overlooked Hawker Hurricane.
“The ME262 was an excellent fighter aircraf”
As I understand it, for the longest time Hitler was adamant on using it strictly as a bomb carrying ground attack aircraft. Adolph Galland put up such a stink that Hitler finally relented and allowed it to be used as an interceptor against bomber formations. Nothing the allies had could deal with it until we figured out to attack them in their landing approach. Too late in war otherwise 262’s could have devastated strategic bombing.
