what the hell? TURM III and VIDAR?

[RAT-64]

I have been playing arcade games for 2-3 years. But when I started playing 8.0 BR tanks, I thought that by playing in realistic mode, I could win more rewards and improve myself. but what the hell is that? Why do I see TURM III and VIDAR in every match?! They literally dominate the match because they have pre tanks. okay I understand. Every tank is easy to kill, but they are unnecessarily strong.

[Boores]

They are glass cannon.

[Kunic]

VIDAR might have an advantage in long range matches at that BR due to thermals but as Boores said - both are glass cannons and can be killed by literally anything on the battlefield.

Never really had any problems with the VIDAR, Turm III I see sometimes and they are easy to kill - if you have a long reload you might want to arm a bit better but usually they die easy. (just if he survives your first hit he´ll probably whack you)

turms 3 all ammo is in alow armored turret just hit the right side of turret and u ammo rack it .
Vidar is stronger but still weak 50cal can kill it or heat and HE and HESH can overperessure.

U see alot of these tanks couse there premium and people just buy them to grind the tech tree faster and alot play relistic, BBut usally not that expeirenced so they make dumb mistakes and are easy kills

The Vidar is deceptivly sturdy as far as I can tell because of his hardened armor plating.
.50 cals were almost useless and 20mm guns take quite awhile to chew trough.

VIDAR is far better.

VIDAR is faster than almost every Vehicle at this BR, it has a Laser Range Finder and Thermals at 8BR which 99,9% of all other Vehicles including the TURM III don't have, you can One-Hit everything with a 9kg HE (also has HE-VT) and with an aced Crew you can get the Reload as low as 6 Seconds.

People saying its not survivable also never played it or are dumb because that thing survives more than most MBTs due to how it is build up you will almost always get hit on your barrel or front parts which don't kill, i have 200 Matches in it and it always surives at least 2-3 Hits from Enemies giving you lots of time to escape or be saved by an ally due to how quick it is and also accelerates very quickly.

TURM III is strong as well but a joke compared to VIDAR. Everything is a joke compared to the VIDAR at 8BR, its in my opinion the single most OP Premium and you can perform well with it even at Top Tier.

the survivalbility of Vidar is also from the space it has and people misjudge it by hitting the barrel or front that transmission and other componete eat the shell, Tho this is becouse of APFSDS

[Franss the Coffee Addict]

the amount of times i've hit the random crew member that in front of ammo and it absorbs whatever round hits it get completely eaten up by said crew member, or at most turns the ammo yellow. Then I proceed to do the same on some non-premium it blows up the ammo on same exact case.
Also it feels like VIDAR's ammo racks seem hella small for the cannon it has

I'll give you the acceleration, but being able to survive multiple hits or getting "hit in the front part" isn't so much a product of the VIDAR as it is attention to that enemy not being a very good shot.

I'd count that as another point for the VIDAR when most enemies don't know where to shoot you

i mean given time that gets diminushed alot when it comes to experienced players, its mostly squewed dueto alotof new players buying premium at that br and not knowinghow to deal with large empty tanks

Most buy themself into 10BR and not 8BR, at 8BR you still almost always encounter people with Tech Tree Vehicles and have longer lasting Matches

And even if it were to die in one Hit it still is OP and stronger than the TURM imo. 6sec Reload, one hits everything, LRF, Thermals, better top speed and acceleration than most enemies/allies and that at 8BR where only very few have LRF or Thermals let alone both

That thing can easily be taken to 10BR and above and perform well

I see the VIDAR a lot more often than the TURM for some reason but at least with playing the Brit VIDAR is super easy kill with the fox. Anytime I see Sweden on the opposing team I get in the fox and go hunting. They always go to predictable places usually around the edges of the map, maybe sometimes pushing to spawn camp.
