The 229 was the sign of how the concept of dogfight was changing: you didn't need something powerful AND manoeuvrable anymore, you needed to take X amount of firepower at Y altitude and at Z speed, make a couple of passes and bugger off.

This imprint will be the signature style of all the interceptors of the 50s and 60s, reaching its apex with the F-104 Starfighter.
