I doubt it would have made much difference unless it entered service much sooner like early 1942. The die was cast the moment Germany invaded the Soviet Union and failed to capture Moscow from that point on it was only a matter of time.To be facing to enemies with massive man power and logistical capability that Germany had no effective means to seriously damage or disrupt(I am fully aware of U-boats by the way I am talking about actually damaging industrial capacity) that in the long term is a loosing situation.
One thing people tend to forget about warfare is that once one foe fields a superior weapon everyone else will soon develop a counter so a single weapon or weapons system is never the trump card it seems to be.
The classic example would be armor once someone makes a bit of tough armor someone else comes along and makes a weapon that can penetrate it.
