The Berserker has 355 armor.

This is about 25% less than the weakest Medium mech, the Sharpshooter, at 470.

My logic dictates that I basically have no health and that I will basically die a horrible, miserable death if I so much trip and fall.

I pilot SMC 'zerker and plan on using Infie-chan again, but with the Heat Cannon instead.

Here is my current internals/items loadout for both:
'zerker:
Internals - Air Compressor (3), Deflectors (2), Basic Extractor (1)
Items - EMP Mk.II (3), Scanner Mk.II (3)
Infie-chan:
Internals - Air Compressor (3), Deflectors (2), Basic Fuel Converter (1)
Items - as 'zerker above
Techie:
Internals - as Infie
Items - Shield Mk.I (2), Detonator Mk.I (2), Repair Charge Mk.I (2)

Here's my planned changes:
'zerker:
Internals - Air Compressor (3), !! Replenisher (3)
Items - EMP Mk.II (3), !! ISM Disruptor Mk.II (3)
Infie-chan:
Internals - Air Compressor (3), !! Evasive Device (2), !! Basic Power Surger (1)
Items - EMP Mk.II (3), !! H.E. Charge Mk.II (3)
Techie:
Internals - !! Replenisher (3), !! Evasive Device (2), !! Basic Fuel Converter (1)
Items - Detonator Mk.II (3), Shield Mk.II (3)

Hello I have a question: I was thinking about using a Basic Fuel Converter on my Berserker/Infil but I see you are planning to remove it. Is it because it's not useful_ Or because the "Basic" gives too low fuel_ Or both_ Thanks in advance!

EDIT another question: why not having armor fusor on tech_ you get assists when someone you heal makes a kill and this means being repaired for free...

I tried putting it on my Scout, and it was completely useless. I would very much not recommend it.

That's what I do, along with a Replenisher. It's great for me.

You don't really need the air compressor on the infiltrator, its more of a stealth mech (although I have seen plenty of good aggro players) and if you plan on using the heat cannon with it, you can hang back farther away anyways.

I wouldn't put a converter on light mechs. The converter gives you fuel based on the damage you take and in a light mech, damage isn't something you want to recieve a lot of. It's better used on mediums and heavies.

Fuel converter works if you plan on getting hit... not a good item for a squishy A mech

[mittens800]

Fuel converter is for zerkers so they can stay in the air longer...

[Amidatelion]

Yeah, but the amount of time in the air you get out of the damage you take in a berserker is not worth the damage you take. Besides, you're much better off dancing in the air, dropping behind cover, dancing back into the air after a quick fuel regen. Keeps you flying, exposes you to less fire.

An Air Compressor on the Infil is a must. With the Heat it helps to be a bit higher up. So getting a first jump shot is huge then having an air dodge to save your rear burners.
