The fokker G.1 was the first twin-boom aircraft. The American Airforce was inspired by this plane and build their own P-38 Lightning.

It only looks like a lot of ammunition. 4000 rounds is just 500 per gun! So they hit hard due to the weight of bullets in the air, but those rapid-firing MGs run dry fast.
They should allow an upgrade to the _Danish_ weapon loadout. (Danes negotiated a license.) It was the armament that had been mounted when the plane was displayed at the Paris-Le Bourget air show in Nov. 1936: 2x 23mm Madsen autocannon & 2x 7.9mm FN Brownings. That would bust planes up!
@@Urssaff It's interesting--the G.1 is a great roller and can do easy Chandelles standing on one wing. But I think that's partially a function of it's lower Wing-Loading & lighter weight overall. P38 has superior engines, which will let it muscle-through the same sort of maneuvers. The only advantage the G.1 has is if both planes are very slow.

@@WeBeStronk i think it might end up being a 2.7 plane if gaijin decides to change it. i don't see it going way higher because it still has a limited weaponry compared to higher br props
Very cool looking aircraft imo, always love Twin Booms. Wasn't too interested hearing about the armament but in the nose they're much more effective than I was expecting.
Fokker actually means breeder so it's related to the english F-word. And in street language it's a synonym of the same word in English thanks to the anglification of dutch.
Fun fact the fokker d21 you can find in the swedish tree is also a dutch aircraft and as a dutch person myself it infuriates me that they didnt add it to the lineup
The G.1 wasn't a fighter but a cruiser. In Fokker terminology of those days a the designation for a fighter was a "D". From the same era the D.21 was the fighter.
The flight model got completely butchered after the hotfix inertia changes and now it barely keeps up turning with Bf 110s. It's pretty mid, if not bad now.

My first daily task this morning was to get a Thunderer. I like to use the American A-36 for this because it gets an attacker spawn and is fast as heck on the deck. Needless to say, I was pounced on by a flock of these Fokkers. I almost got clear, but ended up going down and taking one with me.
In circle fighting the person with the wider turn radius, but the faster speed around the wider circumference is going to be the winner. Imagine if somebody turns a really tight circle, and you keep turning slow and you come out on the outside of them on their tail. But the keys to get around that circle at speed. Probably this is not a scissors plane.
On paper it was a revolutionary airplane. But, the engines were subpar (old fashioned was the only thing that was available for export). Nevertheless it was promising. But unfortunately it was bombed on the ground at 10th May 1940 before it could even go into battle. So we will never know.
Actualy one survived and ended up in the uk, te rest, that were on the ground, a airforce commander shot the feul tanks, so the could not participate in the fight in the air. So the fokker g1 never got the chance to show its might in the air.

That rear wheel only looks highly out of place though! The weakest part on the moment the tail Hits the ground when landing.
