The D.XXI was a mid 1930’s fighter aircraft, designed by the well-known Fokker company for the Dutch Air Force which primarily earned its reputation with Finnish forces during WWII.
Briefly: An interwar Dutch fighter, distinguished by well-rounded characteristics in most aspects.
Fokker D.XXI, fighter, Sweden, Premium, rank II.
Pros
- Good maneuverability
- Excellent rate of climb
- 20 mm cannons
Cons
- Mediocre top speed
- Lack of secondary weapons
Development of what would become the Fokker D.XXI began in late 1934 with engineers at the Fokker company seeking to design a modern fighter aircraft, incorporating some of the latest aviation technologies. In 1935, the Dutch Air Force ordered the construction of a prototype which would be evaluated by its East Indies branch, as a result of the aircraft being seen as suitable for defending Dutch overseas assets.
Although its maiden flight in 1936 showed enough promise, the fate of the Fokker D.XXI was “hanging in the air” for a time due to a change in doctrine within the Dutch Air Force. As a result, Fokker began looking into promoting the aircraft on the export market, hoping to find foreign customers.
Fortunately, Fokker received interest from both Denmark and Finland to purchase a number of aircraft as well as rights to production. At the same time, domestic interest was also revived, resulting in the start of production in 1937.
Despite being a Dutch design, the Fokker D.XXI was predominantly produced and employed by Finland. Having built and operated around ⅔ of all D.XXIs, the Finnish Fokkers distinguished themselves during the Winter and Continuation War, although with less success in the latter due to their dated design. The Dutch Fokkers also put up a stiff resistance to the invading German forces in May 1940, shooting down a number of enemy aircraft, including several superior Messerschmitt Bf 109s. In the end, approximately 150 D.XXIs were built, serving up until 1949 with Finnish forces.
In War Thunder, the Fokker D.XXI will be a new premium fighter aircraft arriving to the lower ranks of Swedish aviation tree with the release of the next major update. Featuring good performance characteristics all-round, the Fokker D.XXI is the ideal fighter for fresh pilots climbing the ranks of the Swedish aviation tree.
This unique modification belongs to the first D.XXIs received by Finland, modified by replacing the wing-mounted machine guns with 20 mm Oerlikon cannons in an effort to test the viability of up-gunning the aircraft. While this particular airframe was later converted back to its original armament due to reliability issues, pilots in War Thunder will have the opportunity to add this unique variant of the premium Fokker D.XXI to their in-game collection while at the same time reaping the benefits of its premium status for all actions performed in battle.
The Fokker D.XXI will soon be arriving in the Swedish aviation tree in War Thunder with the release of the upcoming major update. In the meantime, make sure to stay tuned to the news in order to keep posted on all the latest developments surrounding the next update coming to the game in the near future. Until then, clear skies pilots!

Hello Stona/Smin, Do you guys know about Rainbow Six Siege? Every "season" it released a new batch of content, there was this one season where they didn't give any new content but focused on fixing the game, it was the best update they gave us, it did come with new bugs but they showed initiative and the lack of content was excused. I hope you guys can take this to the developers and perhaps do the same, we all love the game but the game has issues. -Loyal War Thunder P(l)ayer
We have decided to have both at once - we add new content and fix bugs. You can check it on every Major (and minor) update in changelog. Do not limit yourself to read only Major Update announcement - always check changelog section of it, you will find a list with dozens of bug fixes.
I feel like too many people don't bother to read the full patch notes, both of major patches as well as the multiple-per-week smaller ones...
Why continue to ruin Finnish and Dutch aircraft by placing them in the Swedish tree?
there is no dutch aircraft in the swedish tech tree... this particular version was used by the finns and they were part of sweden since 1300th to early 1800th
i_make_Big_BOOM, Finland didnt exist as a nation during swedish time, Finland came to be after Russian Empire freed us from Sweden and as completely independent when we separated ourselves from the Russian Empire.
Yeah Dutch are cool but Dassault Aviation is better.
In War Thunder, the Fokker D.XXI will be a new premium fighter aircraft arriving to the lower ranks of Swedish aviation tree
Notice how it says "Swedish aviation tree"?
Vault_Boye, Yes, because it's the tree for Nordic vehicles.
Swedish premium so... maybe we finally get viggen? it was announced so long ago and it would be inferior to bis anyway so why we still didn't got it?
i would say "nice another WW2 for once, lovely" but then i read it will be a premium. how about a word on BR decompression, team composition, map rotation, locking small tiny maps from high tier(+7.7) gameplay, air RB enduring confrontation, making naval actually playable/enjoyable, finally balancing helicopter EC? unless we get something done about the big problems in this patch, i'm not going to be excited. we just had a few patches that improved visuals, its time for improving gameplay.
Why do you say there is no secondary weaponary while the vidéo show there is two gun in the engine ?
Pretty sure they're all 20mm; otherwise yes, I'd agree with you
Japaka52, No secondary weaponry means it has no bombs or rockets. It's armed with two .303in/7.7mm MG:s and two 20mm FF cannons. MG:s were originally Vickers E when delivered but later exchanged to Browning.
Although I am appreciative of it is being introduced into the Swedish lineup, it is just another nearly unknown, minor (fringe) participant in the Great War; used in very small numbers no less. Meanwhile, eight years plus of War Thunder and still no Martin B-26 Marauder in the USA line-up. One of the most heavily used iconic medium bombers of World War 2! Where are your priorities Gaijin?
money
i_make_Big_BOOM, Of course, they could at least offer a premium version of the Marauder (say, the WW2 South African version) along with a regular USA Marauder to get added sales income. .
OK
Will we be seeing anything past the Canberra's and IL-28's? Like the B-45 Tornado!
