This plane handles like a fighter pilot's dream. Tied with the Lightning for the best turning and climbing rates, it even has nose-mounted weapons, thus saving the pilot from leading targets too much. It does have one major and glaring weakness, though: its size. Because it's so huge, almost as big as a bomber, it soaks up machine gun fire very easily, and it can't take damage at all. Regardless, against a Wildcat, you will immediately notice some solid advantages. | This plane handles like a fighter pilot's dream.

'''Official Description:''' ''Originally designed as a long range fighter to escort bombers, and capable of engaging single-engined fighters, the Gekko turned out to be too heavy for such a role, and was used as a reconnaissance plane first, and later converted into a night fighter. This twin-engined plane, shown here as the fighter variant, is a quick and agile fighter, best used to engage in head-to-head attacks, capable of quickly destroying unarmoured planes, thanks to the powerful, nose-mounted 20mm cannons.'' | '''Official Description:''' ''Originally designed as a long range fighter to escort bombers, and capable of engaging single-engined fighters, the Gekko turned out to be too heavy for such a role, and was used as a reconnaissance plane first, and later converted into a night fighter.
