The '''He 112 V-5''' is a Rank I German fighter with a battle rating of 1.3 (AB/RB) and 1.7 (SB). It was in the game since the start of the Open Beta Test prior to Update 1.29.

The He 112 V-5 is best used in lower altitudes. Even without diving down to the enemy for gaining speed, it's a very good turn fighter, and has very good energy retention. It has very weak protection and armament, but you will most likely face with biplanes, so you will easily rip off their wings. The 7.92 mm ammo has a very simple ballistic trajectory, so its a very good plane to learn how to play in realistic battles (RB).

[[File:Cockpit_He112V5.jpg|thumbnail|right|The He 112's instrument panel.]]
 
The He 112 V-5 is a very good turn fighter. The elliptical gull wings allows it turn just like the Spitfire. It carries the same engine used in the early Junkers Ju 87, but its performs bad above 3000 m. Only use M.E.C. if you know what are you doing.
 
 
 
After takeoff, stay at any altitude where you want, and gain some speed. Only go above 3000 m, if it is necessary. Only use M.E.C. if you practice it with the engine in test flights, any bad movement with M.E.C. can kill your engine within a few seconds. Once you found an enemy, make a short burst to its wings as the 7.92 mm ammo will rip the wings off easily if you accurately place your rounds on target. If you overshoot the enemy, cut your throttle a bit down, your performance will not change too much.
 
 
 
====Counter-tactics====
 
<!--What to expect, if it would be in command of the enemy and how to counter it. (i.e. They will most likely BnZ, etc.)-->
 
If you stay above 3000 m, you should not need to worry about them as the He 112 V-5 engine does not do well above that altitude. If you are below 3000 m, try to turn fight with them if you have a more maneuverable aircraft, if not, try to gain some distance and go for a boom & zoom attack against them. If you carry one of the dreaded .50 calibre machine guns, line up a shot and make some precise burst to deal with the He 112 V-5.

Heinkel He 112 V-5 single-engine front-line fighter, issued 1936.
 
  
A single-seat all-metal monoplane fighter with an enclosed cockpit and a retractable landing gear system including tail wheel. This aircraft was designed in the Heinkel Flugzeugwerke design bureau by the brothers Walter and Siegfried Günter.

 +
''An excellent addition to the article would be a video guide, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.''
  
The aircraft was built for a single-seat fighter monoplane competition announced by Hermann Goering in May 1934. The He.112’s main competitor in this competition was another famous German aircraft designer’s creation: the Messerschmitt Bf 109V.

The first prototype He 112 V-1 fighter made its first flight on September 1, 1935. The experts of the Reich’s Ministry of Aviation were unable to select just one prototype, so Messerschmitt and Heinkel were given orders for 15 pre-production machines, to be deployed for military trials. Based on the test results, the Bf 109 fighter was adopted by the Luftwaffe in the summer of 1936.

 +
* ''references to approximate analogues by other nations and research trees.''
  
It was decided that the He 112 would be kept as a backup in case, for some reason, production of the Bf 109 had to be stopped. Construction of the 15 pre-production vehicles continued. The designers continued their work, making changes and improvements here and there in the plane’s construction.

The next prototype He 112 V-5 was equipped with an inline 12-cylinder liquid-cooled Junkers Jumo 210D engine with a takeoff power of 680 hp and a two-bladed metal Junkers-Hamilton variable-pitch propeller. The aircraft was armed with two synchronous 7.92-mm Rheinmetall-Borsig MG 17 machine guns with 500 rounds per gun, which were installed on the sides of the forward fuselage.
 
 
The aeroplane’s wing shape was significantly modified. It now had a sharp bend in its leading edge and rounded tips.
 
 
The company’s head, Ernst Heinkel, decided to show the prototype He 112 V-5 to the international market. In the spring of 1937, the aircraft was shown to a Japanese naval delegation, sent to Germany to learn about prospective future developments in aviation technology. The Japanese showed interest in the aircraft and decided to obtain a prototype for more detailed study and testing. In March 1937, an He 112 V-5 was sent to Japan by sea.
 
 
In the Land of the Rising Sun, the fighter was delivered to the Technical Commission of the Imperial Navy and designated the A7He1. Together with two other pre-production aircraft, the He 112 A-05 (Wr.N.1959) and the He 112 A-06 (Wr.N.1960) - also acquired by the Japanese Navy - the He 112 V-5 underwent tests to compare it to the carrier-based Mitsubishi A5M4 fighter. Japanese experts appreciated certain features of the design, such as the in-line engine and innovations like the retractable landing gear, but they decided not to order a large batch of planes. Primarily, the military did not like the fighter’s relatively poor armament.

General info

Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.

Available shells

Describe the shells that are available for the cannon and their features and purpose. If it concerns autocannons or machine guns, write about different ammo belts and what is inside (which types of shells).

Comparison with analogues

Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns, that have firepower equal to these type of weapons.

Usage in battles

This weapon is very dangerous to air targets due to the Minengeschoß shell, which arguably makes the MG 151/20 the best 20mm cannon against air targets. However little damage over armored ground target

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Minengeschoß shell (an improved HEI shell) provides lots of hitting power against aircraft
  • Larger ammo count than the other German 20mm cannon
  • High muzzle velocity than the other German 20mm cannon

Cons:

  • Still lower muzzle velocity compare to most machine gun
  • Ineffective against armored ground target

History

Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of this weapon. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article.

Media

An excellent addition to the article would be a video guide, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
