@Russel, if the Raijin could instantly stand up and stand down, it would be a viable alternative for the Fury. Also, if take a look at Adrians previous livestreams where he piloted the Raijin, the results weren't that good with the exception of his Tempest Raijin video. My clanmate was actually playing in that video and he told me that he didn't know what Adrian was doing in that game.

Since you said that, it's true that I don't play the Raijin much. It's the same reason why I don't play with Leos or Pattons a lot. I have taken the Raijin (both double thunder and double zeus) for more rounds today and the results were just the about the same. Although my Raijin is only 8 / 9, my other robots are just one level higher; it shouldn't make a huge difference in terms of bot capability. But what I've found is that the Thunder Raijin simply gets melted by Russian Griffins, Orkan Haechis  / Griffins. Even dropping directly on top of a robot in beacon rush wasn't as 'terrifying' as some in the wiki said it to be. Sure I was able to to decent damage to the enemy, but ultamatly, I always died and the beacon was never sucessfully defended.

The Zeus Raijin is just a pathetic robot. Its simply too slow and too weak to do the damage a midranger is supposed to do. Bastion also didn't help as the Raijin took TOO MUCH TIME to stand up, shoot, and stand down, and in that time frame, the Raijin was often hit by multiple Russian Griffin salvos.

I really don't think it's an issue with my skill. I was able to pilot the Zeus Fury effectivly the day I stuck it in my hangar, and the Lancelot effectivly the day I got it in my hangar. The Raijin is simply not a good robot, and a buff would be welcomed.
