Fire Pack Or Straight Up Mc
#1

Much as the title suggests I am curious to see peoples thoughts on rather the Fire Pack is still worth it or if I should go for the MC outright. Bearing in mind Premium time isn't as much an issue for me considering a fair portion of my time is spent on WoT between running Skirmishes or dedicating time to esports/Gold League matches and training. So my time in game wouldn't necessarily on a day to day basis. I am mostly looking at mech bays and possibly purchasing camo so I am not stuck with the base IS olive drab ha ha Admittedly I am fond of the Panther from tabletop and Mech 2 Mercs, so I was eager to see how it performed here. Though the ultimate deciding factor here is what the better value for the $ is based on general consensus.
As an annotation, were camo colors permanent? In addition, were camo patterns unlockable for one chassis or was it for all mechs?

Any colours you buy are permanent across all machines that allow colour changes.
Any patterns bought for a TYPE of machine are permanently yours if you buy the UNLOCKABLE ones and not the one shots.
They will only work on all the variants of the machine you bought it for and only on the ones that allow repainting. Some special edition machines cant be repainted.
Hope that helps

Colours are universal across all mechs, ppermanent pattern are unlocked for all mechs of that chassis, and one-shot patterns are just on the one mech and are lost if you change the pattern (but they're 1/10th the cost)

Right nice to hear about the camo. I was rather curious as to why the unlockables were 10x the cost of one-shots.

Yeah, I'd go for MC in this case, and stick to One-Shot camos, always. Also remember that some colours unlock for 500MC, and others are 1000MC, and sometimes there are sales on specific ones.

Hero, champ (usually has the XL engine needed for the set so theres 4 million credits saved), regular. 3 bays. 30 days premium.
Only the regular in the package needs the expensive upgrades, the hero and champ are almost good to go plus they earn XP 30% faster, plus premium time means they will all level up a fair bit faster than normal grind.
The nice thing about the preorder bundles is that they come with surprise bonus gifts.
But they arent much good for new players, due to not being delivered until the future and their performance being a bit unknown.
Vs get a Firestarter bundle now and wreck everyone in the current best light.

The real value is in the various chassis mastery bundles available in the store. You get a Hero, enough variants to achieve Master, premium time and other add ons, all at a significant discount.
I have 96 Mechs but I am about to buy the Hunchback pack because it's great value on what has been quirked to be a quite competitive chassis.

The minimum purchase I believe is worth it, though the earlier you could have done it the better the results could have been. Between the 3 mechs, 3 mechbays, etc. Even with sales you'd be hard pressed to get that with 20 bucks worth of MC. Especially since the main variant counts with the same benefits as a hero mech (30% cbill bonus).
From there, you can upgrade later if you want or splurge on MC if you prefer.

This, And when you combine in the early order bonus of 3 awesome modules, worth 16,000,000 cbills, you have the best bang-for-buck deal in the game right now. Just make sure you order NOW, that bonus ends tomorrow.
