Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Well armed with two 20mm autocannnons and two 7.92mm machineguns
- Well rounded speed and mobility compared to most of its Tier 4 peers
- responsive to both TnB and BnZ (but not exceptional in either)
Cons:
- 20mm autocannons overheat quickly, trigger discipline is a must
- Outperformed by more specialized fighters in prolonged engagements
Performance
The He 112 sits in the middle of Tier 4 as a jack of all trades fighter that excels in no particular area but doesn't struggle in any. It is more maneuverable than its cousin the Bf 109B with a lower stall speed and a slightly better turn rate, as well as operating better at lower speeds. The He 112 packs two 20mm autocannons which gives it a nasty punch at the cost of quickly overheating. Burst firing and leading shots is required to use them properly, but the He 112 is a good training plane for this. Against other fighters the He 112 takes some getting used to because of its unusual handling characteristics. It is fast enough to zoom in and bug out of dogfights and can hold its own in a turning contest, while giving agile but fragile planes a taste of their own medicine with your autocannons. Against faster or more maneuverable planes however, the He 112 is at a disadvantage. Play to your strengths and their shortcomings in order to survive. Prolonged engagements aren't recommended as your guns quickly become a liability once they overheat. Pace your shots, let your guns cool for a second or two, and keep stacking the damage from those 20mm autocannons. Overall He 112 is a capable fighter with a nasty arsenal, but always keep its limits in mind.
