I am debating whether to use the Berserker or Fred/CR-T Recruit.  I've been testing both for almost 3 days now, the results seem to even out.  But I want a main mech.  Can you guys leave some suggetions_  Thanks!

Zerker has better air control, if you like to be that annoying wasp constantly stinging, go with that.
Fred has more health, its sister mech the Assault has better air control, but not as well as the above Zerker.

My advice; don't fixate on a main mech straight away.

It'll be easier to try all the mechs after the February patch. Take them all out for a spin when the opportunity arises, at the very least; this will show you the weaknesses that each mech has. You might find yourself enjoying/doing better in a mech you hadn't considered as a viable option.

Also, if you like the sustained/ToW combo; don't forget about the Assault. It has the same ability as the CRT as well as being in the same weight class, and you can put points into Air Dynamics (at the moment) like the Berserker. It might be a good "middle ground" for your choice dilemma.

This is great advice.  The February Patch is going to include a "Full Balance Pass", which means that a ton of things will change at the same time.

For now, I don't recommend the recruit (CR-T).  Its sibling the Assault is identical except for having better stats for a sustained damage mech.  However, a lot of it depends on how you like to play.  The berserker is more of a hit-and-run mech while the recruit and assault are front-line fighters.
