Description:
The M-16D is a Hungarian fighter with good armament, it's combat and take off flaps can handle well high speeds making it a great turn fighter, it could handle well dogfights against Russian, South/North American and French aircraft, it's bomber escort and ground attack capabilities was limited and the fastest fighters was it's worst enemies, especially at low altitudes.

Some fictional history:
The Mozkubi M-16 was an Hungarian fighter wich first flew in 1937 and retired in 1945. The M-16 was Hungary's main fighter until Gazka made the G-19 in late 1941. The M-16 first entered battle in July 1940 (the M-16C variant specifically) flown by Germans into France. The M-16s piloted by Hungarians mainly faced the Russians, although some time later they began to face the South/North Americans. The M-16 had good high altitude performance but ironically was operated at low altitudes for most of the battles. After the G-19 entered service in October 1941, the use of the M-16 was reduced due to the G-19 having better flight performance, but the M-16 was still reliable.
