The He 112 V-5 is best used in lower altitudes. Even without diving down to the enemy to gain 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 aeroplane to learn how to play in Realistic Battles (RB).

The He 112 V-5 is a very good turn fighter. The elliptical gull wings allow it to turn just like the Spitfire. It carries the same engine used in the early Junkers Ju 87, but it performs badly above 3,000 m. Only use M.E.C. if you know what are you doing.
 +
 
 +
After takeoff, stay at an altitude where you want and gain some speed. Only go above 3,000 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 have 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 3,000 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 3,000 m, try to turn-fight with them if you have a more manoeuvrable 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 bursts to deal with the He 112 V-5.

=== In-game description ===
 +
Heinkel He.112V5 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.
 +
 
 +
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.112V1 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.
 +
 
 +
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.112V5 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.112V5 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.112V5 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.112A-05 (Wr.N.1959) and the He.112A-06 (Wr.N.1960) - also acquired by the Japanese Navy - the He.112V5 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.

Description

GarageImage He 112 V-5.jpg


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 has been in the game since the start of the Open Beta Test prior to Update 1.27.

The He 112 V-5 is best used in lower altitudes. Even without diving down to the enemy to gain 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 aeroplane to learn how to play in Realistic Battles (RB).

General info

Flight performance

Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.

Survivability and armour

Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.

Armaments

Offensive armament

Main article: MG 17 (7.92 mm)

The He 112 V-5 is armed with:

  • 2 x 7.92 mm MG 17 machine guns, nose-mounted (500 rpg = 1,000 total)

Both machine guns are arranged with one gun on each side of the fuselage, forward of the pilot, mounted beside the engine. Each is armed with the same amount of ammunition, which means that both guns will fire together until empty.

Usage in battles

The He 112's instrument panel.

The He 112 V-5 is a very good turn fighter. The elliptical gull wings allow it to turn just like the Spitfire. It carries the same engine used in the early Junkers Ju 87, but it performs badly above 3,000 m. Only use M.E.C. if you know what are you doing.

After takeoff, stay at an altitude where you want and gain some speed. Only go above 3,000 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 have 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

If you stay above 3,000 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 3,000 m, try to turn-fight with them if you have a more manoeuvrable 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 bursts to deal with the He 112 V-5.

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicles's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

In-game description

Heinkel He.112V5 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.

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.112V1 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.

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.112V5 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.112V5 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.112V5 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.112A-05 (Wr.N.1959) and the He.112A-06 (Wr.N.1960) - also acquired by the Japanese Navy - the He.112V5 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.
