I am thinking of buying a Stormcrow... I have already purchased a Timberwolf Ala carte.

I see that the Stormcrow is available for MC. If I bought one, wouldn't I still have to buy the other two to master the stormcrow? Or is there some other way to master it?

You'll still need to purchase and basic three chassis.

IIRC stormcrow's are the next to come out for cbills.

They are.... but it'll be so much for all three. I guess I'll wait and bide my time with the Timberwolf.

IMO, the TBR and SCR share the title of "best clan mech" or very, very nearly so. With JJ nerfs coming that will hit the TBR, but not affect the SCR, the SCR looks like even more of a standout. Despite all three being "identical" I've mastered them all, have them all set up and may buy up to two more when they're out for CB. Whatever means you use, I cannot recommend highly enough that you get three SCRs in your garage. They're just awesome mechs.

Would you say its worth another $55? I'm guessing they'll be around 15mil Cbills per chassis when it releases, and that would take a lot of grinding. No other clanners interest me all that much.

I'm convincing myself more and more to do it... I think I'll get it.... thanks guys

I am a firm believer that value is subjective, so only you can answer that. I will say that I debated just a la carting the SCR and TBR and sometimes have wished I went that way. I can't imagine anybody not liking SCRs. The only knock on them is they feel a bit easy-mode at times.

I do not really like the way they look.

Having said that - they are a fun ride.

Oh, I agree, they're ugly.

But I got over that with the Jagermech.

Around 13,000,000 actually.

If you already spent 55 dollars... the next mech on the same A la Carte (whether both Wave 1 or both Wave 2), the second mech will be cheaper. The second will be 45 (so 55 + 45 = 100 instead of 110).
A third brings it to 135.
A fourth brings it to 160 total (including what you already spent).

I think the CLANS for mc are so cheap they should be more expensive, like two times.

why do you think that?
assuming you buy the $99.99 MC bundle it would cost about the same to purchase the 3 Stormcrows for MC as A La Carte, but for that price you do not get the Prime (i) variant with the 30% earnings boost, yes for the lighter Clan Mechs it is less expensive for MC than for A La Carte but the heavies and assaults are far more expensive, I think MC pricing is about right for the Clan Mechs

if you purchase the package you are paying far less per chassis than you would be for MC

Sry it was mistake, I thought Cbills, not MCs . . .

Well, they have a pretty direct relationship.
