-The Swedish J20 is an export variant of the Italian [[Re.2000 serie 1]]. The purchase of Re.2000 serie 1 aircrafts was due to the US stopping the sales of any sort of military aircraft to foreign operators. Thus Sweden acquired 60 units of the aircraft, with Hungary being the second biggest foreign operator. The J20s engine proved to be very unreliable, but it still was liked by it's crew, thanks to it's good flying characteristics and stable performance in Sweden's harsh conditions. In World War II, the fighter was used by fighter wing F 10 at Malmö and had the task of intercepting any aircraft that violated the neutral Swedish airspace. A single unit was shot down in 1945 intercepting a German Dornier Do 24 near Sölvesborg.

-It was introduced in [[Update 1.95 "Northern Wind"]]. The J20 behaves exactly the same as the Italian [[Re.2000 serie 1]]. So the aircraft has an amazing climb rate, outperforming many other fighters at it's BR. It is then a good energy fighter when it is used with it's climb rate into consideration and it can also be very decently as a turn fighter thanks to it's low turn time. It's biggest issue is the weak armament, only two 12.7mm MGs and the compression at relatively medium speeds (only 400KM/h). The aircraft also has full engine controls for it's use if necessary, but this is only adviced for very skilled pilots.

 == Usage in battles ==
-The J20 is excellent at turn fighting. It can out-turn most contemporaries. It is not recommended to fight enemies head-on due to its weak armament of 2 12.7 mm Akan m/40 machine guns. The aircraft is not equipped with any suspended armaments which makes it difficult to fight against ground vehicles. Boom and zoom is not a great playstyle for this aircraft due to the aircraft losing a lot of control after passing 500-600 kph.

 The J20 does not have any armour, like its counterpart, the [[Re.2000 serie 1]]. However, it does have 2 self-sealing fuel tanks underneath the pilot. Despite this, it is prone to fires, and due to the proximity of the fuel tanks to the pilot, a fire is likely to be fatal.

-Akan m/40 was the designation the Swedish gave to the Italian [[Breda-Safat (12.7 mm)|12.7 mm Breda-Safat]] machine gun. Despite this, the gun lacks the incendiary belts found on the Italian planes mounted with this gun. The Tracers belt is easily the worst, as it contains only Ball ammunition with a tracer component. It is recommended to use either the Air targets or Universal belt, which are basically the same belt but with ammo types changing position on the belts.
