Considering on the Shuusui's only ever test flight the engine cut-out and it crashed into a building, and a few days later another blew up on the ground, they might as well be.

It's funny that the Komet gets less stars and worse stats, when it was the better plane irl (the Suusui basically being a cheap reverse engineer). According to the Wikipedia entry, the Shuusui never got out of the prototype stage and the Me 163b's performance was questionable (had a very low shoot-down-to-loss ratio due to accidents and such). The devs mentioned that the actual plane (that is, the actual Shuusui) is a 'What-If' version that implies that the bugs and kinks to the system were worked out.
