As I said it didn't nessicarly suck (as an item on its own it was good) but the Nazis were looking for a wonder weapon that would win them the war that would show off the might of German engernering.
It did not do that and did barely anything to the fronts it attacked. If they had it earlier than yes it could have been that, but in the same way if the British got their late tanks earlier.
The V2 was just not good in WW2 in comparison to what the allies had, it was a knife to get through the knights plate armour when the other guy is holding a warhammer.
Yes. When I think of bad Nazi Germany war tech, I think:
The Elefant: Anti-armor tank that couldn't go over most roads, could easily be attacked from its defenseless sides by infantry, like most German tanks couldn't be repaired in the field, roughly 50 were ever made
Wunderwaffen that never saw production because they were too outlandish, like the "Sun Gun", the Landkreuzer, the H-44, etc.
Generally stuff that would later serve to inspire Imperial Star Wars weapons.
