It does indeed show up on radar. A number of avid g2r players have been asking for this fix for a long time.

It does currently show up on radar, but that'll likely be changed once Reloaded gets more programmers on board and starts to do more in-depth work on the game.

Which is not sooner than in half a year.

I don't think this should be addressed, every armor needs it's chink. besides any player worth their salt ought to know to run like a bat outta hell if they're alone and they see this big insect looking thing rushing them. if you time it right.. you should be able to cover the distance in the G2 before anyone even knows you're there. You should be up in their face with one mech down before they have a clue. I've ambushed plenty of players in the raider alone using the ability.

Most B/C mechs should be able to take down a G2R rushing at them with relative ease to be honest.
Before the G2R is in MIRV range it'll have lost too much HP to win in most situations.

That only works if they don't watch their radar.

The raider can blitzwalk w/out a radar penalty, this post is about the g2 raider, the turkey.
You do not own one yet.

Not to sound disrespectful but i don't think you have played with the people who Really know how to pay attention to their radars yet. Also if you haven't played the mech (G2, not the regular raider) yourself it's very easy to overlook things like this.

you miss my point, I am not implying about the Raider, I was making a point that in a Raider I can rush head in and get out with a kill or two, the fact that the Cockroach (I'm sorry it looks like a bug to me) needs a chink in the armor, I've seen what they can do, and frankly speaking it needs some sort of weakness to it. When I blitz, the last thing I'm thinking is "Radar positioning", "Break that line"/"I'ma kill this sucka running" is what is going in my mind.
As for the radar, I am not sure if my oppenants or teammates pay attention to it, but when I flank I never boost or shoot, I know how to stay off the radar and flank, and I keep an eye on it at all times, especially as I lurk around a corner with a tow or grenade ready when I know someone is about to turn it.

At higher levels the G2R is one of the weakest mechs in the game. It's secondary has the longest ready time in the game, its HP is minimal, its fuel tank REQUIRES a fuel converter and it is slow as balls.
I don't care about balancing the Battle turkey but it has plenty of chinks. Any C-Class can beat it, any B-Class beats it hands down and while it is death to A-classes you know what else is?
A Brawler.

It can beat many C-Classes and B-Classes too.

It's not the only thing that seems buggie about the G2R. I've asked this in another several topics (without answer), but is it normal for any boost or dodge to break the G2R's special speed-boost ability? On mine, once I activate the special and am running fast, even with full fuel, if I dodge or boost the speed is gone - the ability is still 'active' and counting down, but the thing is no longer running fast.
To be serious for a moment this is just a joke

There is an acceleration to the mechs movement. If you boost you revert to normal boost speed and have to re-accelerate, same with dodge. You will regain the speed if you get moving again. IMO a good change would be to make boost disabled during the ability.

In that case, "Why can't the G2R's ability be exactly like the Raider?" That works without all the funny business.

Edit:@Amid As a "regular" G2 raider pilot sometimes I prefer to face B and C classes because bigger hit box, easier not to miss with mirv.

Yes, a simple enough fix, though more substantial gains would need to be made before this hard to use class can be competitive with most other classes.
