Even with two to three assault mechs standing in front of you. At five tons lighter, the Jagermech can't hold as much ammo as the Ilya, but it is still effective (I have a Jagermech with three UAC 5s) primarily due to the arms of the Jager being located higher up and you don't waste as much ammo shooting the ground like you do with the low slung guns on the Ilya (a disadvantage of the Cataphract chassis).ДЄnother downside of the Ilya is anyone who has been around a while knows the Ilya is dangerous and it's not long before you find yourself being shot at by multiple mechs. However, with the Jagermech that came out a few months ago, the Ilya is no longer the only mech capable of mounting three UAC5s. When the Ilya first came out, it was the only mech that could mount three UAC 5s due to the hard point locations and this could be called 'pay to win' because it was, and still is, a big time damage dealer. The three Ultra Auto Cannon 5 (UAC 5) build is somewhat fragile though due to having to run an XL engine in order to have enough ammo for the UAC 5s to be effective in more than one fire fight. After using it quite a bit for the past 10 days, I must say it is a strong mech for its tonnage (70 tons) and weapon hard point locations (one ballistic in each arm and one ballistic in the right torso).

Update (June 17, 2013): I purchased my first hero mech, Ilya Muromets (Cataphract chassis), on June 7.

Full disclosure: One of the reasons I joined the Founder's Program was to own four Founder's mechs (25 percent c-bill bonus and unique look. There are lots of Hero Mechs running around though. I don't own one yet because I don't think the c-bill bonus and uniqueness make them worth buying. Some are good variants, others not so much, but none of them are even close to being overpowered. Definitely not pay to win.ДЄlthough Hero Mechs are unique variants, they are not any better than other mechs.

The mechs are exactly the same as any other mech you buy with c-bills. Only your personal skill can do that.Д¬hampion Mechs only have an earned mech experience bonus. C-bills and mech experience alone will not make you kill your opponents easier or faster. It's not pay to win, but it could be called 'pay to make progress go faster.' Yes, you can get access to better equipment faster, but everyone has access to the same equipment and the prices aren't so high that it will take you much longer to buy something without having Premium Time. It only adds to the money and mech experience you earn in matches. Premium time does not effect game play either. No one can argue they make MechWarrior Online pay to win. Paint, camouflage, and cockpit items are cosmetic only. Mech Credits cost real money and varies based on how much you buy at one time (the more you buy, the better the value). You start with four bays.ДЄll of these things are purchased with Mech Credits (MC).

Additional Mech Bays - You need one bay for each mech you own.

Hero Mechs - mechs with unique weapon hard points, custom paint jobs, and a c-bill bonus of 30 percent (stacks with Premium Time).

Champion Mechs - stock mechs with an experience bonus of 10 percent (stacks with Premium Time).

Premium Time - increases c-bills (in game money) and mech experience earned in matches by 50 percent each.

Cockpit items like mech statues, banners, air freshner, dice, and many more.

Paint for your mechs (all mechs come painted in drab green).

However, the long answer is, while MechWarrior Online is a free to play game, it does have some things you can buy to improve your experience or speed up your progression. So, the short answer is, 'No, MechWarrior Online is NOT pay to win.' The game largely unbalanced even for people who have skill in the game To make better items then everyone else at a faster rate and then makes First, so we're starting from the same point of reference, let's start with a definition of 'pay to win' from Urban Dictionary: 'Games that let you buy better gear or allow you
