Can anyone tell me how these things would have been implemented in optimal scenarios?
In an optimal scenario this thing would have never been designed.

It is called the people's jet for a reason
It was meant as a cheap short-range interceptor and would have probably been very successful at that, it was cheap, fast, sufficiently armed, had an ejection seat and flew very well. Only downside was its short range, though that was planned and due to it's small size.
In the scenario it was implemented in and because of which it was actually designed, however, it didn't look as good: It was literally designed and built within 3 months, built out of low-quality materials because of the war situation and mostly flown by inexperienced Hitlerjugend pilots who got some 10 hours of training before they were sent to fight.
tl;dr: this >>3077475
I still think it was a very cool plane, though.

They should've focused on improving the 109s.

The 109s, even the later variants were already outclassed by the Fw 190s. Germany needed actual pilots, rather than a trillion more designs. Also the fact that most of Germany's pilots died with their experience and didn't pass them on to newer pilots.
