I can only afford one of these two (thanks Google Play points), so which one is more bang for my virtual buck? 398 + 50 medals a day seems really nice, but the e-100 is really nice to have for axis missions (considering the opposition is Maus... look how they massacred my boy). The MK F3 is also pretty OP for allies, but I'd mainly be buying the pack for e-100, as I prefer Kat over MK (but Karl is best boy). So which is the better deal?

I’m an F2P through and through, but Victory Medal is better.

The MK F3 is also pretty OP for allies, but I'd mainly be buying the pack for e-100, as I prefer Kat over MK (but Karl is best boy). So which is the better deal? Everything in this is wrong. First of all, definitely choose the SF pack. You already get more than enough medals daily (even just sitting there you get 105 a week), and it is better to unlock new things than simply speed your farming up. First of all, the E-100 isn't actually all that great. Yes, it is way better than the Maus (primarily due to stats), and it is slightly better than the KV-6 (primarily due to stats), but TBH it's buffs are pretty trash. It has one good buff and that is damage reduction. That is admittedly incredibly helpful, just not as much as the Maus buffs. You're still gonna have a hard time slaughtering tanks with it, and your chances of landing a oneshot are still pretty low. It can maybe kill half a medium tank if Rommel is on it. And only idiots use heavy tanks to attack artillery. Heavy Artillery is business left to other units, while regular artillery is suicide. Just use your HTs for killing infantry, people! Secondly, the MKF3 is probably the single best special force in the game. It is so incredibly OP, you could use DeGaulle on it and it still is great. First of all, a fourth range with the vision to use it is already a lot to unpack. You are actually carrying a literal radar station with you. Furthermore, combined with it's stellar defense stats, the fourth range is a godsend that will allow your Artillery to last actually forever. It has a 60% chance of attacking again, so assuming you get a 100% chance of killing the opponent (and considering it's attack stats, you likely will), you will average 2.5X damage. Every round. To put that into perspective, the attack bonus of the Katyusha is 50% to two enemies in their spots who are next to your initial enemy. That is maximum 2X damage. Finally, it allows your other units to do more damage by deleting enemy fortifications. Just don't attack people in coastal forts that you need and you should be good. So yeah, get the SF pack. It's just better.

I agree that SF pack is better unless you plan on finishing the game faster for no good reason. SF will provide you with additional mechanics to use and play to make the experience more fun which is what it comes down to imo. yes it is extra stuff to upgrade but they are also pretty powerful. daily medals are sufficent already anyway. PS i am f2p and dont actually have it.

I'm F2P, only got into GOG3 recently and haven't been grinding hard. So far I've purchased three generals, Guderian, Leeb and MacArthur, and with them alone I'm into 1944, still finding the going pretty easy, and have four and a half thousand medals saved up.
The moral of the story: you really don't need either, but if you're going to spend, you have all the medals you need. Spend on something that will help you in combat, either the SF pack or the armor/artillery marshal badge.

Not gonna lie, I would go for the Special Forces package because of that frenchie's 3-hex range and the chance to attack again when killing

honestly gog3 so far is really easy without spending so in the end its just up to your preference or which you find more fun, obliterating units with the victory medal, or collecting them all with the special forces package / buying generals to complete your Wehrmacht dream team etc
