I love the 29 where it is. Price is not bad for the plane. Use it correctly and you will win most every time. It gets really high and it is very fast. At 35k, not much can lift off and get to you in time, other than a 153 or a 262, and the 262 is an easy kill at that alt. Even fighters that are laying in wait for you can only make 1 successful pass then they lose their speed trying to turn around. The 5 & 6 gun position will award you with many kills and you have what seems to be an unlimited supply of ammo. I don't understand the complaints about this plane. If you don't have the perks to fly them, go earn some perks, plain and simple. I am really enjoying the 29 and I do not see it becoming a hanger queen in my play.
