Fokker D.23 Prototype. The single seat, twin-boom, Push-pull configuration fighter! From 1939!

[Thomas_Belgium]

Now this is a twin-boom fighter! +1 from me.

[JamesPond1200-psn]

Push-pull planes are so cool, and the guns here are great! +1

[Arghail]

Great suggestion. Should have been added with the rest of the Dutch aircrafts in the first place IMO.

We can clearly see a pair of MGs in the beams of the aircraft on the mockup, but where were the other two supposed to be ?

@super_cacti

Weaponry planned for the D.23 was two 7.9mm FN-Browning machine guns and two 13.2mm FN-Browning machine guns. These weapons were brand new at this time, and very powerfull.

• The 7.9mm FN-Browning machine gun had a rate of fire of 1.500 rounds per minute, with 500 rounds of ammunition per gun.
• The 13.2mm FN-Browning machine gun had a rate of fire of 1.000 rounds per minute, with 200 rounds of ammunition per gun.

The 13.2mm FN-Browning machine gun located in wing’s tail roots

Right where the wings join up with the fuselage

Eh, I’m stupid, I missed the design part. Thanks ! There’s no reason why it couldn’t be added, then.

[Caernarvon02]

another vote for a BeNeLux tree in the ballot

[FlipAllTheTables]

Honestly I’m surprised this wasn’t added from the get go.

+1.

[Neobushido]

Doesn’t make sense as TT vehicle. But yes for squadron, event or BP

[mr_boo]

Awesome stuff, shame the engines couldn’t be a tad better

Armament
Guns:
2 × 13.2 mm FN-Browing machine gun
2 × 7.9 mm FN-Browing machine gun

Ammunition
13.2 mm FN-Browing machine gun - 200 rounds per gun
7.9 mm FN-Browing machine gun - 500 rounds per gun

At least it has HMGs and not just Mgs.

[Deathmisser]

Good news boys, the two reliable leakers have shown that the D.XXIII could be coming in the next update :D

[Arghail]

Hopefully these HMGs will be nice to use. But yeah, one of my most anticipated addition of the patch.

[Thomas_Belgium]

These HMG are already in-game, the 13.2 mm Akan m/39A machine gun, which is called the 13.2 mm FN Browning machine gun in the files, it’s a HMG made by FN herstal in Belgium.

There are 10 vehicles in-game that have this gun, and it’s one of the best HMG’s in-game.

The 7.92 mm FN-Browning M.36 No.3 machine gun is also already in-game, as can be seen on all Dutch 1930s airplanes in WT:

note: 500 rounds per gun

[mr_boo]

Really nice set of guns, hopefully the flight model won’t be made to be a slower J21 which would be pretty mediocre

[PlayedStatue626-live]

+1 congratulations on it getting in

[CasperWieIk]

Really looking forward to being able to play this in the game. We should’ve gotten our unique Dutch aircraft in when they added the subtree in the first place, instead of C&P stuff, but at least we’re starting to get them now. Here’s hoping the Koolhoven is next (Or a Fokker bomber).

[Nihilist_Saint]

If the rumors are true, take them with a little bit of salt, just in case. But yeah, we need more BeNeLux-specific aircraft, a 15th copy of an F-16 is not exactly interesting to me.

[super_cacti]

And here it is!

Fokker my beloved

As the D.23 has been added as a part of update 2.51 Spearhead,
