Can the jet's be competitive?

We had a guy in tonight using the 163 in team battle, and he was pretty good. He knew how to use it, boom and zooming, he got quite a few kills.

In Strike mode if the enemy is using the Arado AR234 jet bomber, the 163 and 262 are the only things that can catch it. The 262 has a horrible turning radius though, but it has the best guns and speed of any aircraft in the game. Bombers don't stand a chance against either.
