Oh Yes Gimee More...More...More !!

Here is the Daumann Da-543 Blitzjager in JG-1 Manfred von Richthofen colours.
The Daumann Da-543 was first flown on April 23rd 1941 by Manfred von Richthofen himself, when he landed he said "it is a fast as lightning and twice deadly" the term Blitzjager was coined soon after.
it was introduced for combat on 1st Jan 1942 the same day as the Rheinland-Amerika war started. Within weeks the first squadrons of these had their first 50 kills most of which where P-39 and P-40's who stood no chance of even seeing their adversaries let alone kill them. when the American's started to bomb Rhineland held territory in the Southern US their B-17's and B-24's where shot down like flies.
The Da-543 was armed with 2 30mm cannons and each had 200 rounds apiece. it's top speed was well over 900kph. But its engines had a problem of overheating if full throttle was used for too long and it was very fragile when it was ever hit.



P.s. I will be doing more liveries.

BURN IT!

While red does look cool, it is the equivelent of placing a large "SHOOT ME" sign on the aircraft. Also, how do you explain this being flown in 1941, while your adversaries are still using Warhawks and Airacobras? The He-162 was built late war as a responce to the development of long-range fighter escorts (primarily the P-51). You would have no need for this aircraft that early. This is not to mention that there is no way you could get it going that fast at dog-fight level cruising speeds.

Yeah, while it looks extremely cool, Your chronology doesn't work. While (for the purpose of AU) You could have the plane bit earlier (assuming that somehow requirements for it - although for different reasons than in real-life - were created much earlier), that simply couldn't be too much earlier - around a year perhaps, maybe very end of 1943 if things were to be somewhat overstretched and unlikely (after all, some of the delays suffered by the German jet fighter development were due to reasons other than purely technical, but rather related to bureaucratic and industrial turf wars and lack of clear R&D policy), but not 1941.

you would also, in your timeline, have the time constraints that made the volksjager being developed fast, and thus placing the engine not in but on top of the aircraft.
