The K9 VIDAR is a premium artillery tank added to the Swedish tech tree in the latest War Thunder update. It's extremely fun and arguably too good.

      @StarkRaven59@StarkRaven598 ай бұрын

    • @@StarkRaven59 Over all the other SPGs listed, VIDAR has all of the vital systems to make it truly work: good mobility, laser rangefinder, thermal and good reload. I think the muzzle velocity is also the highest of all of them, but the LRF already trivializes aiming at any distance.

      @bighobo7745@bighobo77458 ай бұрын

  • The question of "Why would a howitzer need a laser rangefinder anyway?" is quite simple. Norway specifically wanted their new SPG to have direct-fire capabilities. As such the K9 Thunders delivered to the Norwegian Army are (or were, at the time) the only K9's equipped with a dedicated direct-fire aiming module/FCS

    @AndyKraken@AndyKraken8 ай бұрын

    • Same for Polish K9PL, direct fire was a requirement during conversion. That was after Norwegian ones, though. But before Poles used to use AHS Krab (K9 chassis, British turret, Polish fire control system) and that one also had direct fire (they all went to Ukraine, though). Central European plains and all.

    • They have a heavy emphasis on multipurpose usage and diversity. They planned much like Finland did on irregular defense, a good idea for such a small population. The American way of thinking is "Why add cost to an excellent artillery? You do not want to ever have to use it as an assault gun." The way of smaller, smarter nations is "we only get a few of these and that's it, and it's 90% of the way to being a good assault gun too. Why not both?" This is the same idea that lead Sweden to the now very well known Grippen! If 90% of your weapon is suitable as an assault gun

  • Would it be possible for you to comment on the RP changes that they have introduced in the most recent patch? The stat-card changes have also introduced heavy RP gain nerfs, from my average 10k per game with premium to less than half that for the exact same score, time and activity. It seems counter-intuitive for what the whole tech-tree shortening was supposed to do. The grind is even worse than what it was before the changes to the tech trees.

  • It's been a short time since the update dropped, and In a single 3 hour grind session, I killed 20 Vidars and only got killed by one once, and it was a trade. The T10A slaps Vidars as they struggle to kill you lmao. This one guy respawned in backup VIDARs 3 times, each time being yeeted by me, before he spawned in his last tank, that one Swedish 1.2 second reload 120mm at 3.7. This was the guy I traded with, so I was in a Shilka now, and I gunned him down. Also killed a premium SK60 in that same battle. It was hilarious making VIDAR players suffer, seeing as many of them don't even have a 7.7 lineup and relied on backups or just left after 1 death.

    • A lot of the players in the game don't know what balance is even if you explain it to them. Like how when you shoot a weak point on a Russian tank and the game just absorbs your shell. Blatant bias is just a skill issue. Or like the person I basically spent two days trying to explain the obj 279 being overpowered. His main argument being its a skill issue when the only few things that can kill it are heat, atgms, and pixel sniping it with any other shells. Along with saying is a skill issue that you can't kill it with any bombs. There's also CAS players who in ground say it is a skill issue when you, playing a tank, can't kill a plane. Yea. War Thunder players don't know any sort of balance

    • @@mote_vengador2832 The problem itself with Russian Bias doesn't lie purely in the tanks/aircraft. It's the mechanics around them. Like how Russian planes, even if they're made of wood, can just sneeze the fire out. Russian tanks will just randomly eat shells. The drivers hatch on the t-34 being stronger than anything in the game at random. Vehicles being put at blatantly lower tiers than they should be fighting because Russia shouldn't be allowed to lose in their eyes. I would also like to point out that I am someone who played the Russian tree for a good while. I've started to branch out, but the point still stands.

Encountered like five different new glitches on the first couple days of the update, so I'm not surprised at all. Gaijin always breaks some things inadvertently.

  • You can often just use proxy in place of normal HE and get direct hits with it, the damage should be similar. Especially when you have a quick laser rangefinder and so won’t aim short. But this only works at medium range, within a hundred metres or so the fuse won’t be armed so it’s useless for cqc.
