If the Luftwaffe flight sims informed, its not the tendency of the plane to explode due to mismanaged engines that’ll kill you, but the super-finicky landing skids on terrain, rather than wheels on a landing strip.
But then, going up against a sea of B-17s in a Bf-109 was pretty suicidal anyway, so Luftwaffe pilots were willing to try anything, including rocket planes.

Tbf, it was pretty suicidal for the day bombing B-17s too. They were some brave MFs.
