This ride really doesn't warrant a perk cost. It can't carry any ordnance (So it's essentially useless since it can't drop hangars) has a difficult to master gun package, and is easily shot down shortly after taking off. It's only redeeming quality is that it's the fastest fighter in the game. With it's high perk cost nobody de-acks or strafes GV's with it and since most pilots just run it into mountains I feel it's capabilities have been over-exaggerated similar to the Spit 14.
