-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was designed by the Netherlands in 1935. It was meant to be a cheap and compact fighter, it served for both the ''Luchtvaartafdeling'' (Dutch Army Aviation Group) and the Finnish Air Force, some aircrafts captured by Germany were actually placed in service with the Luftwaffe. The Fokker D.XXI was first used in combat by the Finnish Air Force during the 1939–1940 Winter War between the Soviet Union and Finland. The '''D.XXI-3''' was a license built D.XXI-2 for Finland. The aircraft used the normal armament but was eventually fitted with 20mm cannons. Against the soviet union, the aircraft was initially successful, but eventually it became underpowered and sustained heavy losses. During the Continuation War, the Fokker was surprisingly effective, with some Finnish pilots even becoming ace fighters on it with the top scoring ace being Jorma Sarvanto. Finland continued to operate their D.XXIs until 1949, and classified them as surplus to requirements in 1952.

-It was introduced in [[Update "Fire and Ice"]]. The '''{{Specs|name}}'''is a slow, although very agile fighter. It could be compared to fighters like the I-16, that are excellent dogfighters but lack the engine power of other aircrafts like the BF-109. It has a capable offensive armament for its BR, with 4 x light machine guns, it's enough to destroy most biplanes, however, more advanced fighters would be more tricky to destroy. Even though it's a slow fighter, it does have a high climb rate, so try climbing to a good altitude since the start of the match, 4000-5000m would be a good idea, it is also particularly stable in simulator battles so its a beginner friendly aircraft. For its survivability the aircraft has only a single fuel tank, so a leak would eventually result in the aircraft loosing all the fuel, and a fire in that tank would also cause the aircraft to get destroyed, in low level flight the aircraft is very slow, and most fighters would catch up to you if you try to retreat.

-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.

 == 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.
