I was just reading a article showing a captured ME-262 A-1a/U4 with a
50mm cannon on its nose . Does anyone know what this variant was
supposed to be used for Anti-tank or anti-bomber? The only other thing
i know is that it was flown by a "Willi Herget"

IRC it was intended to be used against heavy bombers such as
the B-17 and B-24. The idea was to have a gun large enough
that a single hit could destroy the target
