Ok, so basically I get that it's slow, its weapons ain't doin' it no favours, its ability needs a buff...

I get that it's underpowered and something of a disappointment.

But let me say this: One thing the devs got 100% correct in the Raider G2 was the initial impression it gives.

I was playing the other days and I saw the damn thing. Slow, ungainly, died easily. Didn't think much of it.

And then the damn thing came screaming around a corner at me at full speed and I very nearly pissed myself. I did let out a girlish shriek. Because the one thing the devs managed to do right, the one thing they managed to communicate well was I think the core impression of the design:

Nothing that big should move that fast.

It's actually pretty good in a 2v2.
It also has the highest burst in the entire game.
If you use Fuel Converter, the ability lasts pretty long as well, when in combat.
