}}

== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Swedish fighter {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Fire and Ice"]]. Apart from the armament and a bit of armour behind the pilot, it is broadly similar to the premium [[Fokker D.XXI|D.XXI]]: primitive but rugged, slow but very manoeuvrable. The loss in punch of its offensive armament (four 7.7 mm Brownings instead of the two 7.7 mm and two 20 mm cannon in the premium version) is partially offset by the lower BR. Even stock, the engine can be run at WEP for extended periods of time without overheating.

== General info ==
=== Flight performance ===
{{Specs-Avia-Flight}}

The Fokker D.XXI-3 is highly agile for its class, and many opponents (except biplanes) will often struggle to get a good shot. The downside to its manoeuvrability is its speed. The Fokker D.XXI-3 is quite primitive, with only landing flaps, and fixed landing gear causing considerable drag. This makes the Fokker D.XXI-3 unable to run away from most opponents, as even some biplanes are capable of catching up. This doesn't mean the plane is weak however, as the engine provides excellent power for such a light machine, allowing it to climb high above most targets.

{{main|FN-Browning M.36 No.3 (7.7 mm)}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:

* 2 x 7.7 mm FN-Browning M.36 No.3 machine guns, nose-mounted (500 rpg = 1,000 total)
* 2 x 7.7 mm FN-Browning M.36 No.3 machine guns, wing-mounted (300 rpg = 600 total)

== Usage in battles ==
You can dominate the match with your superior turn time. Keep your speed above 170 while dogfighing, or you can be wiped out by the early Bf-109's and P-36's. Having a good altitude advantage can counter this by having more energy before starting a fight.

=== Pros and cons ===

'''Pros:'''

* High climb rate, especially for a monoplane of this BR
* Only one fuel tank, so fires usually would not be started if the aircraft was tailed
* Great turn time
* Engine takes a while to overheat on WEP
* Sturdy airframe tolerates high speed dives
* Very stable aircraft to fly in simulator battles
* Fixed landing gear makes landings easier and more simplified
* Good armaments for BR

'''Cons:'''

* Rather slow, cannot escape fights
* Only has landing flaps
* No armor

== History ==

''On 14 November 1934, design proposals for a new fighter aircraft were submitted by Fokker to the Luchtvaartafdeling (Dutch Army Aviation Group). Fokker's design team, led by Erich Schatzki, and based at the firm's newly completed plant in the southern district of Amsterdam, had sought to incorporate and combine various new concepts and recent features from successful fighter aircraft, including the previous C.X and D.XVII aircraft.''

{{main|FN-Browning M.36 No.3 (7.7 mm)}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:

* 2 x 7.7 mm FN-Browning M.36 No.3 machine guns, nose-mounted (500 rpg = 1,000 total)
* 2 x 7.7 mm FN-Browning M.36 No.3 machine guns, wing-mounted (300 rpg = 600 total)

== Usage in battles ==
You can dominate the match with your superior turn time. Keep your speed above 170 while dogfighing, or you can be wiped out by the early Bf-109's and P-36's. Having a good altitude advantage can counter this by having more speed.

=== Pros and cons ===

'''Pros:'''

* High climb rate, especially for a monoplane of this BR
* Only one fuel tank, so fires usually would not be started if the aircraft was tailed
* Great turn time
* Engine takes a while to overheat on WEP
* Sturdy airframe tolerates high speed dives
* Very stable aircraft to fly in simulator battles
* Fixed landing gear makes landings easier and more simplified

'''Cons:'''

* Rather slow, cannot escape fights
* Only has landing flaps
* No armour

{{main|Browning (7.7 mm)}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:

* 8 x 7.7 mm Browning machine guns, wing-mounted (350 rpg = 2,800 total)

== Usage in battles ==

''Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).''

=== Pros and cons ===
'''Pros:'''

* 8 x 7.7mm MG are quite beginner-friendly to practice aim
* Excels at low-speed dogfighting, can effectively engage agile planes like [[Ki-43-I|Ki-43]]
* Also capable of Boom & Zoom tactics against energy fighters like [[Bf 109 E-1|Bf 109E]]
* Tracer belts are mostly made up of incendiary ammunition, which easily sets enemy planes on fire
* Great for simulator: clear view over the nose and is stable in a turn

'''Cons:'''

* rifle-calibre machine gun has low damage against robust targets like [[F4U (Family)|F4U]], [[Ju 88 (Family)|Ju-88]]
* Only has 2,800 bullets, so careful shot placement is crucial in realistic and simulator battles
* Combat flaps will rip at relatively low speeds (>270 km/h)
* Slow level flight speed compared to other aircraft like [[Bf 109 F-1|Bf 109 F]], [[Ki-61-I ko|Ki-61]]
* Lacklusture roll rate against planes like [[Fw 190 (Family)|Fw-190A]]
