Fuel was the major problem for the Luftwaffe..in the end they didn't have enough fuel to even train their pilots adequately.
If the Lutwaffe was able to introduce the ME 262 at the end of 1943 instead of the fall of 1944 the airwar over Germany would have been quiet different. The ME262 while it had teething problems was apx 100 miles faster then the best the Allies could put up...the P-51...Not only was it quicker but it was heavily armed..
Given the better supply situation and still having air superiority over Germany in early 1944 the Germans would have been able to halt the Allied daylight bombing campaign...
