The X4 never downed any Allied aircraft \'\'because it was never put to operational use\'\', ie it never got the chance to shoot anything down. Its intended target would have been heavy piston engined bombers flying in formation so it deserves the benefit of the doubt at least. The planned versions of the Ta 152H - never finished due to Germany losing the war and all - would have been equipped with 2 MK103 30 mm cannon and 2 [[MoreDakka Mauser 20 mm MG 213 revolver cannon]], the 2.900 HP Junkers Jumo 222 engine and laminary flow wings putting it at least on the level of any late war/post war Allied piston engined aircraft. The Horten Ho 229 flying wing performed succesfull test flights - fly-by-wire is not an absolute requirement for a flying wing, Northrop also flew the B-35 en B-49 without it - and a reconstruction showed it had only 40% of the rcp of a Messerschmitt 109. All in all nothing to scoff at.

Much of the stuff removed should be reinstated, while acknowledging that much of it was AwesomeButImpractical. For example the Silbervogel might have been unbuildable at the time, but Sängers works did contribute to NASA\\\'s lifting body projects, so it at least deserves a mention
