VIDAR is a scam
You buy it now at 7.7 but it will go up to 8.7/9.0

Happens all the time. Main reason why stuff gets bumped up is because all the "pro gamers" can't be bothered to learn the strengths and weaknesses. They cry on the forums until Gaijin bumps it up and abuse the reporting system when someone hurts their K/D

Idk about Pro gamers.

The VIDAR was never going to stay at 7.7

A yr 2000 era tank with thermals fighting WW2 tanks?

it will move up but that will also make it kill things easier since more light vehicles

It's the same with every new vehicle. Gaijin makes it really good, then after they've made a ton of money and most of the purchases have passed the 14 day EU refund period they will bump it up and theres jack you can do about it.

Just understand this is true for all vehicles that do too well, not just premium vehicles. Consider, the P47 used to be a 3.0 BR aircraft, the Swedish 21 series of aircraft used to be 3.7s, etc... It's based on the effectiveness of the vehicle. If it's too effective in combat, it gets bumped up. I hate that it happens. I wish they'd stop it, but that's why it happens. It's not to screw people. It's because the vehicle is too effective at its BR.

You seem to be missing the point.

They purposely put it at a lower BR so people buy it hoping to gain an EXTREME advantage over other players.

But Gaijin knows they will increase the Br, thus it is a scam.

No, it's on purpose to make money from people that want to seal club.

Yeah, I don't think that's true. If it were, we'd see premium vehicles switch BR MORE frequently than we'd see non-premium vehicles switch, and that's not the case.

It has 2nd Gen Thermals (and scouting) + laser rangefinder and autocannon with APDS and overall one of the smallest silhouettes ingame.

Okay so that'd be another example?
Unsure what your point is here?
