Why does the HE-162 A-2 suck so much?

[maladaptive daydreamer]

It cant accelerate, overheats instantly, can't climb, can't do anything. Why even keep it in game gaijin?

It sucks so much because it sucked in real life, that's basically it.

Put simply the He162 was a last ditch effort by the Germans there factories had been bombed too nothing they were short on metal, fuel, pilots,rubber, even paint so they came up with things like the 162 out of pure desperation historically its wings sometimes ripped apart on takeoff because they were literally glued together
