the VIDAR is too strong. There are too many of them, they are too accesible. it has thermal, NVD and rangefinder at 8.0!?!?!? + 6.0 reload.
too OP at least 9.7

Skill issue, you can 50 cal it, the reload is only for first two rounds, then it gets slowed down. No stab either, so it just have to camp somewhere so in urban map its unusable, its just useable on open maps with campers cause good luck hitting moving tank with that HE. Also if you want,you can buy it aswell.

Only if you can see it.If they are stuck on the horizon hidden in bushes covered in bushes one shotting everything that does actually bother to move then then its game over.That is where your thin armour argument fails.You wont hit what you cant see and you wont see them until the replay of your death.
I did the same with the Vidar last time I played it.Hid in the bushes making very little contribution to the game, just one shot killing all those in the enemy team who were bothering to move.Great kill rate ,fun for me but not doing much for the game in general possibly.Flooding the game with artillery was a mistake in many ways.
In order to have good thermals and LRF at 8.0 you’ll need to have a lot of cons, which VIDAR has:
- crippling gun handling
- crippling gun depression
- only 2 rounds in ready rack
- pretty slow round
These things will significantly impact VIDAR’s effectiveness and as such it’s a pretty map dependent vehicle.
Also, it has the same ammunition as M109 which sits at 6.3, which is almost two full BRs lower. I don’t know, I think such a huge increase in BR is more than enough for thermals, LRF and a faster reload for the first couple of shots.
At best it could go up to 8.3, but anything higher and it would be a pretty bad vehicle overall.

That is such a dumb take you gonna .50 cal a tank from 1+ km that can just snap shot kill you?
Let me guess german player who got himself a Maus?

Actually no. In-game VIDAR takes its name very literal, you can do a lot of things even without stabilization and bad gun handling. And it has enough armor to sustain 12,7 mm ammunition at point blank. But I’m fine with it being 8.0, doesn’t have that much to offer but the mobility and the gun.

I’d love to see a snap shot kill by a VIDAR. No stab and a 9 degree turret traverse (with expert crew, which most people buying it to grind won’t have, so 7.5 ish degrees is much more realistic) won’t result in snap shots.

Every time i play it i get Sweden or some other bs map so.
It’s already nerfed from being 8.0.
It can’t go higher.
I didnt even think of that… I wouldnt be surprised if that were the case
