-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''' was the successor to the D.XXI-3 in Finnish service, the only difference is the armament, with the '''D.XXI''' featuring 2 x Oerlikon 20mm cannons, which was necessary after becoming increasingly obsolete during the Winter War. The aircraft was introduced after the D.XXI-3 model was upgraded with 20mm cannons, since the base version was considered underpowered. 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 "Ixwa Strike"]]. The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a slow, although very agile fighter. It has a very similar performance to its predecessor, being slow but having a good climb rate. It has an increased firepower over the D.XXI-3, featuring 2 x 20mm cannons that are very lethal at its BR. Try climbing to a good altitude since the start of the match, 4000-5000m would be a good idea, so that you can dive and gain speed if you need to reatreat, 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, the new 20mm cannons mean increased weight and the aircraft is slightly slower, the cannons are also prone to overheating and jamming, and have a low ammo pool

 <!-- ''Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.'' -->
 The Fokker D.XXI is a fairly pleasurable aircraft to play. Its manoeuvrability is quite good, being able to outturn a lot of aircraft of this BR. Also, its climb rate is great for its BR. However, keep in mind that it it rather slow,  and might not be able to keep up with other fighters.

 * Does not rip or even compress at little over 600 km/h, allowing it to safely dive on its opponents
 * Short take-off run
 * Very stable aircraft to fly in simulator battles

-The {{PAGENAME}} is highly agile for its class. This allows it to comfortably defend itself against most opponents, that will often struggle to get a good shot. The downside to this is speed. The {{PAGENAME}} is quite primitive, with a lot of drag coming from both the landing gear and wing-mounted cannons. This makes the {{PAGENAME}} unable to run away from most opponents, as even some biplanes are capable of catching up. This doesn't mean the plane weak however, as the engine provides well over 700 horsepower to this light machine, allowing it to climb high above most targets.

This doesn't mean the plane is weak however, as the engine provides well over 700 horsepower to this light machine, allowing it to climb high above most targets.
 The strategy when using the {{PAGENAME}} should be to make the plane as light as possible, while using the engine to gain a height advantage. This can be achieved by taking the minimum amount of fuel, and putting the plane to a ~15° climb at take-off. This ensures that the plane will be the lightest aircraft at altitude, making any dogfight at height favorable, as most planes capable of reaching this height are much more cumbersome in comparison. Once the opponents up high have been cleared, the {{PAGENAME}} is able to make use of the altitude to boom & zoom opponents below with ease, as the plane can safely dive without damaging itself.
-{{Notice|Pilots more comfortable with dogfighting can utilize the '''Landing flaps''' when stalling, to quickly flip back over. This allows for some advanced tactics against slower opponents.}}
