Many late-war German inventions are treated as products of desperation. A weapon's theoretical power is irrelevant if the design cannot be made to work under operational conditions. Projects that absorb scarce labour and materials without delivering reliable equipment make the wider production problem worse. Even a successful design could not reverse the war if Germany lacked the capacity to build it in strategically meaningful numbers.

Why German wonder weapons could not reverse the war
Late-war German schemes are assessed through production capacity and operational usefulness rather than their theoretical power.
