I was interviewed concerning my book on Japanese x-planes and the question on if the planes, had they gotten into service, would have "turned the tide" came up and I said absolutely not. Prolonged the war? Perhaps. Won it? Not a chance. Most of the "what if" scenarios I've read which had merit all point to events happening very early on in the war and, in some cases, before it. Had events then gone differently, perhaps the outcome of the war would have changed. Once you got past 1940-1941, the final result (victory for the Allies) in most of the scenarios held true.
