The only advantageous thing cash gets you that in-game currency cant is hero mechs. The main advantage of hero mechs is that they have a 30% bonus to in-game currency earned while piloting one.Meaning that cash unlocks rainbow paintjobs and non-combat pikachu pets, or cash unlocks ASBLS-14x Assblaster 9000 mechs that otherwise take 3,000 hours of grinding in-game?
Some of them do have unique omnipods/hardpoint configurations that roundaboutly translate into spending cash for an in-game combat advantage, but it's not some huge deal and by no means is the meta dominated by hero chassis.
