jollyjack Posted May 5, 2021 Posted May 5, 2021 What would be the best plane to emulate a Fokker D-XXI? Only the Stuka seems to have the wheels unretractable ...
Heliopause Posted May 5, 2021 Posted May 5, 2021 The one they where building hasn't flown yet as far as I know .... https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/50186-fokker-d21-replica/?tab=comments#comment-776964
BlitzPig_EL Posted May 5, 2021 Posted May 5, 2021 Currently there is nothing in the sim that comes close to emulating the D XXI. Probably the closest thing would be the I-16. Every other single seater in the sim is just way too fast to be a D XXI stand in. 1
Gambit21 Posted May 6, 2021 Posted May 6, 2021 “Stand-ins” in general (unless we’re talking variants of the same type) are invariably pointless and completely unsatisfying IMO. Somebody made a “PTO” campaign with the existing plane set - which is utterly ridiculous for all kinds of reasons. 1
Dutch2 Posted May 7, 2021 Posted May 7, 2021 Maybe we have some if Battle of Finland will be released including Leningrad. Lots of the planes info can be found, so who knows.
LLv34_Flanker Posted May 7, 2021 Posted May 7, 2021 S! Fokker D. 21 survived early in Finnish war because pilot training and tactics were better than VVS had. And Fokker could always outdive I-153 and I-16 if had to disengage. It could never engage in a turning fight against the more nimble VVS fighters. Pendulum tactics worked well. Still, an interesting plane. Outdated already in 1939 but did it's job. And made a world record too.
