Description

The Fokker G.1A Jachtkruiser was a Dutch twin-engined, twin-boom heavy fighter developed in 1937. Nicknamed the "Grim Reaper" by both the French and British due to its heavy firepower, it attracted significant foreign interest for export. Consequently, a smaller variant, the Fokker G.1B / G.1 Wasp, was conceived, equipped with a Pratt & Whitney SB4-G Twin Wasp Junior engine, while the domestic G.1A was powered by the Bristol Mercury VIII engine. By the start of WWII, only 36 G.1As were airworthy. Despite being overwhelmed by German forces, they managed to shoot down up to 167 Ju 52s and achieve 14 confirmed aerial victories.

It was introduced in Update "Seek & Destroy". Equipped with 8 x 7.92 mm FN machine guns in the nose with plenty of ammo this aircraft offers a deadly amount of head-on firepower but requires cautious flying and positioning due to its heavy nature. It's up to its pilot to decide whether to use this aircraft as a ground attacker, using bombs and strafing light targets with its MGs or using it in a head-on or interceptor role.

Armaments

Offensive armament

Main article: FN-Browning M.36 No.3 (7.92 mm)

The Fokker G.IA (France) is armed with:

  • 8 x 7.92 mm FN-Browning M.36 No.3 machine guns, nose-mounted (500 rpg = 4,000 total)

Suspended armament

Main articles: Vliegtuigbom (50 kg), Vliegtuigbom (100 kg), Vliegtuigbom (300 kg), Vliegtuigbom (400 kg)

The Fokker G.IA (France) can be outfitted with the following ordnance:

  • Without load
  • 6 x 50 kg Vliegtuigbom bombs (300 kg total)
  • 2 x 100 kg Vliegtuigbom bombs (200 kg total)
  • 1 x 300 kg Vliegtuigbom bomb (300 kg total)
  • 1 x 400 kg Vliegtuigbom bomb (400 kg total)

Defensive armament

Main article: FN-Browning M.36 No.4 (7.92 mm)

The Fokker G.IA (France) is defended by:

  • 1 x 7.92 mm FN-Browning M.36 No.4 machine gun, rear turret (600 rpg)

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".

Pros:

Cons:

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.
