Talk:Heinkel He 112

Detail level

There seems to be too much detail in this article.GraemeLeggett 12:39, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I feel like this article should look more like Heinkel He 111 in terms of material and detail level. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 17:20, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Disagree. Too much detail? Not (practically) possible IMHO. - Aerobird 01:29, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

This article reads more like someone's research paper than it does an encyclopedia article. Fitting since it is apparently based upon this. Right now this article is 57k in text. The Messerschmitt Bf 109, a plane that used far more and is quite well known is only 38k. While I understand that this may not be a fair comparison, I still hope this fact serves to show that this article is too bloated. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 17:37, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

IMHO, that proves the Bf 109 article is too short. ;-) But I understand your point. - Aerobird 02:48, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

RLM Contest

Since the RLM contest text seems to be largely common to all the aircraft involved, wouldn't it be better hived off to a separate article and a summary left in each planes article? GraemeLeggett 15:39, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree, there is a lot of material here and backstory, which although interesting, doesn't need to be repeated over and over. I think it should be broken off into its own article and linked it back to here. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 17:20, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

There's something wrong with the beginning of this article. It starts out talking about the He 51 and the Spanish Civil War. Then the lessons from that war. Then Hermann Goring requesting a new airplane in 1933. But the Spanish Civil War started in 1936. What is the actual chronology here? User:Cfulbright 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Too much general history going off topic

I wanted to mention that I believe this article goes too much into the history of Nazi German and its relationship to Romania and other countries. The article seems to get off-topic of the He 112 specifically. A useful link to more information on the countries' relationships with Germany would be appropriate, but not segments of the history and story of political tactics as exists now. Anyone else agree? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jprcox (talk • contribs) 19:53, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

He 112 V-6

Based on what I read online, the V6 was the only aircraft the Nationalists had which had a cannon, therefore it was used for attacking ground targets. Should this information be added? Hardtofindausername (talk) 15:55. 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Range

"Range: 11,000 km (6,835 mi; 5,940 nmi)"  ?????   Please correct the typo.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.43.98.96 (talk) 07:58, 26 June 2019 (UTC) 

Oh, wow. How did no-one notice that. Mr rnddude (talk) 08:15, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Timeframe

"When the He 51 was tested in combat in the Spanish Civil War," This doesn't make sense within the context of the article. The Spanish Civil war starts in 1936. This design is commissioned 1933-34. The experience in the war might have justified the design decisions, but they did not drive it.Nickpheas (talk) 10:01, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Wernher von Braun.

Wernher von Braun is mentioned as a designer of a Heinkel 112 variant. I do not think that this is correct. It must be a confusion of names. He never worked for Heinkel nor did he understand anything of aircraft design. 190.183.216.135 (talk) 00:46, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
