Introduced in Update "Fire and Ice", the Fokker D.XXI-3 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 aircraft like the Bf 109. It has a capable offensive armament for its BR, with four 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, 4,000-5,000 m would be a good idea. It is also particularly stable in simulator battles so it's a beginner friendly aircraft. For its survivability, the aircraft has only a single fuel tank, so a leak would eventually result in the aircraft losing 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.
