Introduced in Update "Ixwa Strike", the Fokker D.XXI is a slow but very agile fighter. It has a very similar performance to its predecessor, being slow but having a good climb rate. It has an increased firepower over the D.XXI-3, featuring 2 x 20 mm cannons that are very lethal at its BR. Try climbing to a good altitude since the start of the match, 4,000-5,000 m would be a good idea, so that you can dive and gain speed if you need to retreat. 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. The new 20 mm cannons mean increased weight and the aircraft is slightly slower, the cannons are also prone to overheating and jamming, and have a low ammo pool.
