Fokker D.XXIII

Just finished spading the new plane in 3 battles. It’s a really fun aircraft with great guns and a lot better maneuverability than the stat card shows. This thing will flip on a dime if flown right.

It’s plenty fast for the BR as well. The only weird thing I’m experiencing is the spawn. Does anyone know if this is a bug. I seem to spawn pretty far ahead of the other fighters (even though it’s not an interceptor) and about 420MPH which is way higher than its rated speed. I then slow down quite quickly. Also, sometimes I spawn in at 80% throttle.

Overall, very nice to see some “weird” planes at lower level. It’s one I will play for a while.

It has to be a bug.

Mach 1.8!?!

At least it’s down to 425ish MPH.

I would have loved to have seen the much higher speed spawn.

This thing is absolutely brilliant. If it goes up in BR, it will be my fault.

Why does a Dutch plane in the French tech tree is equipped with „Akan m/39“ Swedish MGs?

Shouldn’t they be called FN Browning 13.2mm?

Or is that just incorrect on the wiki?

That thing is pretty outrageous for 2.3. (full up tier not spaded)

2.3 = lot of newbies,… i’ve done that on a regular daily basis with Bf-109E-1 when it was 1.7 then 2.0 then 2.3 BR

The Akan was just a licensed copy of the FN. Not sure why they use the Swedish designation though. It might be because the single prototype never actually had the heavy machine guns mounted, but it is odd.

Well, it’s obviously because someone was lazy 🙃

Indeed they should!

Make sure there is a bug Report as it wont be fixed otherwise! This is likely a placeholder Error
