Compared to other Japanese aircraft, the Gekko is able to climb well and sports a lot of power from its engines. On the other hand, however, it isn't the greatest in a turning battle, and can keep pace with Corsairs only if they're loaded down with rockets. The Gekko handles smoother than the Zero and can outperform it in most cases, but the plane is very much under-armed, and has a slower fire rate on its cannons. The plane is also very large, making it an easy target. The Gekko is therefore best as a ground attack aircraft, capable of climbing quickly to begin another strafing run on enemy defences. | ||
'''Official Description:''' ''Originally designed to escort bombers as a long-range fighter capable of engaging single-engine fighters, the Gekko turned out to be too heavy for such a role, and was used as a reconnaissance plane first, and later converted to a night fighter. This twin-engine plane is a quick and agile fighter, best used to engage in head-to-head attacks, capable of quickly destroying unarmored planes, thanks to the powerful, nose-mounted 20mm cannons.'' | '''Official Description:''' ''Originally designed to escort bombers as a long-range fighter capable of engaging single-engine fighters, the Gekko turned out to be too heavy for such a role, and was used as a reconnaissance plane first, and later converted to a night fighter.
