WW2 Royal Netherlands Air Force

[snafusmith]

Fokker D.XXI:

The Fokker D.XXI fighter was designed in 1935 for use by the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army Air Force (ML-KNIL). [1]As such, it was designed as a cheap and small, but rugged aircraft, which had respectable performance for its time. Entering service in the early years of World War II, it provided yeoman work for both the Luchtvaartafdeeling (Dutch Army Aviation Group) and the Finnish Air Force also a few were built by the Carmoli factory before the factory fell into Nationalist hands during the Spanish Civil War.

Fokker T.V:

The Fokker T.V was a twin-engine bomber, described as an "aerial cruiser"[1], built by Fokker for the Netherlands Air Force. It was modern for its time but by the German invasion of 1940 it was outclassed by the airplanes of the Luftwaffe. Nevertheless the T.V was used successfully against the German onslaught. The T.V and Fokker G.1 were the only aircraft of the Dutch air force that were equipped with retractable landing gear. As the T.V lacked self-sealing fuel tanks they gained a reputation for rapidly catching fire when hit by enemy fire.

Thank you!

I know several places where they will get lots of use...

Thanks!

They'll go especially well in a WW2 Pacific mod - though the camo is appropriate for the RNAF, the markings are actually those of the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army Air Force.

Great Snafu... simply great. Now we have some proper Dutch Air Force units.

One special note worth mentioning... and I know it's not your fault... but when you use the "bomber" animations on a fighter (which has previously been done with the American P-38 Lightning), the interception animations get really freaky... because you'll see the twin-engine fighter go after the enemy aircraft, but instead of shooting at the enemy plane (as the fighter animation does), the twin-engine fighter will string a trail of bombs from mid air miles away from home, all the way back to his HOME BASE!

So if a twin-engine fighter intercepts an enemy plane six squares away from it's base, it will chase after the enemy aircraft then string a trail of bombs back to it's starting friendly base!

The devil is in the details, I know!

Great work as always Snafu!

Yeah, I know - I don't use it as a fighter, but as a ground-pounder with good defense.

Not to sound dumb, but the Netherlands had a Airforce in WWII. You learn something new ever day they say..

J/K, but very nice units nonetheless.

Yes... they got blown-away in Holland in a few days in 1940 by the Germans, then got plastered defending the East Indies against the Japanese in 1941/42.

They didn't have a lot of luck in WWII. Their navy didn't last much longer either. Oh, and that nice model of the USS Langley got sunk ferrying fighters to Dutch Java in 1942.
