Their one mistake: switching from bombing RAF/military targets to cities. They had the RAF on the ropes and almost done for. Had that happened, England would have fallen.
That was one of Gorings many mistakes but from what I’ve read they still didn’t have the capacity to launch operation sea lion (the invasion of Britain). Not enough surface ships to defend the convoy and I don’t think they had the necessary transport or assault boats.
Now, with British fighter cover eliminated I guess they could have just fire bombed London all day and night but not sure they could have launched a full fledged invasion

Exactly. The only thing after control of the air would have been the sea. At that time, Uboats ruled the seas as we weren't in it at the time.
I do believe they more than had the capability to do an invasion had they not made that critical mistake of switching targets. In all honesty, they may not have had to invade. They could have ringed the island and kept supplies out.
