Description
The ▄Fokker D.XXI Series 3 is a rank I Swedish fighter with a battle rating of 1.7 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Fire and Ice". Apart from the armament (see below) and a bit of armour behind the pilot, it is broadly similar to the premium D.XXI that was introduced in Update "Ixwa Strike": primitive but rugged, slow but very manoeuverable. 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 (1.7 instead of 2.0). Even stock, the engine can be run at WEP for extended periods of time without overheating.

Armaments
Offensive armament
The Fokker D.XXI-3 (Sweden) is armed with:
- 2 x 7.7 mm FN-Browning M.36 No.3 machine guns, nose-mounted (500 rpg = 2,000 total)
- 2 x 7.7 mm FN-Browning M.36 No.3 machine guns, wing-mounted (500 rpg = 2,000 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
Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
See also
Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:
- reference to the series of the aircraft;
- links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
External links
Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:
- topic on the official game forum;
- other literature.
