I plan on buying some Marauder IIC's with some christmas money, but I can only afford the base pack and one additional one. Should I get the scorch, or the Reinforcements? On one hand, Hero mech makes extra money. on the other, the D variant gets ECM, and the C one also looks nice for heavier cannon builds. Which should I choose?
How do you play? If you like using big guns and SRMs then get the Hero. I'd personally get the Reinforcement pack because ECM is useful and I'd make do with the hardpoints as I see fit.
SRM's can be okay, and big boom is fun. Although the D gets missile and ballistic fists.... Maybe dual U/AC 10s or LB10s
I'm a sucker for LBX20's, myself. I've thrown them on anything possible, but given the choice between one or the other, I'd get the C and D. I don't find the MAD-IIC's great for brawling, better for mid-range engagements.
Well, MAD IIc is a 85 t mech. Considering the Wave 1 Hero mech prizes the Scorch will be about 85 * ~94 (MC / t) = 7990 MC once it is released for CBills. This equals roughly USD 32 when buying the biggest MC pack outside any MC sales. I considered the C & D for myself, but simply refused to break that extra paywall for variants I can easily get with CBills a couple of months later.
