The He 100 D-1 is INSANELY over powered! Like a low-tier jet . . . War Thunder

[@crunchy_water_]

I remember getting into aviation in War Thunder (I started on ground forces). The He-100 was a joy to play at low ranks, amazing plane XD

[@mattssecondchannel]

it really is!

[@anxiousseal556]

This thing just need 20mm mounted on it and it’s gonna be one of the most op plane in the game. It’s seriously amazing.

[@mattssecondchannel]

Apparently it was meant to IRL, 20mm in the nose instead of the mg

[@anxiousseal556]

@@mattssecondchannel if that goes into the game it’s gonna be the most op plane in the game

I remember when I got the He-100 I usually played arcade but it was like flying an interceptor to the point where I would find bombers and shred them like paper it was beautiful.

[@mattssecondchannel]

yeah, it's definitely OP lol

[@duduliang4060]

This reminds me of when I got a good game in the BF109 E and still had 6 RP to go on the HE100. I forced myself to give up.

[@mattssecondchannel]

it's worth it

[@steelsiege]

Bruh this reminds me of when I playing around a night fighter version of Do17. Low teir it smacks people out of the air

[@mattssecondchannel]

Yeah, it has insane armament at that BR, but low speed and energy retention

[@themightydave2187]

You should try the hurricane mkIIb/trop, it has a similar playstyle, not as fast, but turns better, has 12 mgs and tanks damage

[@mattssecondchannel]

I do enjoy that one, maybe i'll do a video on it

[@KJ-kn8pg]

Nice video, and great skill, gotta watch out for the overshoot, it can be fatal if the enemy pays attention. I wonder, do you plan to play other games? But keep war thunder on the top! Cheers. (these 14 minutes felt like 2 minutes only, need more xd :) Ps: become my war thunder teacher.

[@mattssecondchannel]

Haha thanks! I will, i'm sure, do a few other things in time. Yeah, sadly in low tier not everyone is ready to deal with an overshoot

[@pawemaciejewski2200]

I really should start looking to get that plane

[@mattssecondchannel]

It is insane!

[@alfepalfe]

Try the Swedish J22 (if you have it.) I think it is nice and soon enough we may see one of them airworthy irl thanks to a group called WarbirdsOfSweden.

[@mattssecondchannel]

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm still grinding out the Swedish tree at the moment, so maybe in the future

[@diegocastillo-olivares4992]

How do you change view without changing direction? Subbed!

[@mattssecondchannel]

Thanks! I press C on my keyboard, which allows me to enter free camera and can then look around using my mouse - it does mean that I lose control of the aircraft a bit though, as there is no mouse aim at that point, only direct control of the surfaces by the keys associated with them

Wikipedia says it came armed with a 20mil at the nose.

[@jakeduke-parker7618]

Only issue with the heinkel is the armament

[@KJ-kn8pg]

I think that if it had 20mm cannons it would completely dominate low tiers and even bigger.

[@mattssecondchannel]

Yeah, but it's so good in so many other ways

[@mattssecondchannel]

Completely true!

[@flyingpizza7486]

Powerful but very weak, 1 bullet and your leaking water which is fatal for this plane also the lack of good calibre rounds, 109s at that br have there 2 20mm cannons on their wings

Yeah, I do talk about some of these things in the video

this plane is a civil race plane they slap some mg42 in it to make it a fighter

Kinda worked tbh, at least in this game. Perhaps if the German aviation industry and government had been a little different in their policies this aircraft might have seen more real world use

[@thomasrobinson1478]

@@mattssecondchannel nice!

[@cw4623]

He claims it has "tiny rifle-caliber guns..." without mentioning that the caliber is bigger than virtually all US, Japanese, USSR, French, and British guns of the same BR.

[@mattssecondchannel]

ah, yes, I can see how this would make a difference. The He-100 fires 7.92mm rounds The USSR planes mostly have 7.62mm rounds The UK and Japan have 7.7mm The USA have 7.7mm as well (although at this BR there are those with some 12.7mm weapons) France probably comes off worse with their 7.5mm weapons They are all pretty similar sizes, but I suppose if we look at the French round size and compare, that is a difference of 0.42mm per round. Whilst this might be a miniscule disadvantage, more often than not these aircraft that use this caliber tend to have more guns than the HE-100 so i think kinda make up for it. It's not like the he-100 is firing cannons here and has a wild advantage weapon-wise over the adversaries at this BR

[@joaopauloam500]

Find the P-36 better, but It's 100 is also very good

[@mattssecondchannel]

P36 turns better and has higher calibre guns, the he100 definitely has the edge in speed though

[@chibidakis1]

What ammo belt do you recommend?

[@mattssecondchannel]

pretty sure i go for universal on this one - my aim isn't good enough for stock and tracers dont tend to do enough damage

Its so good but unfortunately there is almost no one using it (from my experiences)

Are you american? If not why mph?

I'm from the UK - we use MPH as our speed measurement whilst driving here - as it is the most familiar unit I'm used to, I just stuck with it. I could change it to Kts or KPH but they don't have as much "real world" reference to me as I never use them
