It never saw combat...


Then it is not the answer to my question.


The first He-162 wing went "operational" on 23 April, less than two
weeks before the war ended. The He-162 actually had its one and only
confirmed kill on April 19, before it was officialy operational (the
He-162 was shot down by another Allied plane before it got back to base).

Two other kills were claimed for He-162, but not confirmed.
