I didn't say anything about it having to do with Raava. All I said about Raava was that Korra having a lifelong link with one of the strongest spirits we know of is bound to have an effect on Korra's affinity towards the spirit realm, and that affinity wouldn't just up and vanish because Raava did. This is actually backed up by that very same episode, because Korra has always been notoriously bad at connecting with her spiritual side, and yet after Raava is gone she still managed to create her giant spiritual projection.
And Tenzin's wording in that episode (yes I went and watched it) does not imply anyone could have done what Korra did. It actually implies Korra is one of very few people who could have done that, maybe even the only one. Yeah anyone can sit under the tree and meditate, but not everyone could bend their own energy to create such a powerful projection.
Plus there's still the fact that harmonic convergence was still ongoing, which potentially played a huge role. In fact, it's implied harmonic convergence did play a role since the tree of time was projecting Korra's memories, and what was happening in Republic city during harmonic convergence, but it wasn't doing that on subsequent visits.

Plus, the massive spirit weapon IS a large slow moving target. It is essentially identical to giant red dude.

I forgot about the spirit chest lasers, but my point was basically why would you want to be something equally slow that can get easily blasted, or (now that I remember about the chest lasers) risk having the spirit beam overpower your own spirit beam, while potentially having a lot of collateral damage and putting innocent lives in danger (the people working inside the machine just following Kuvira's orders)? There's no point to risk all that when you can simply move fast, avoid the beam and draw its fire away from the city, and infiltrate the machine and take it down from the inside.
Especially since next episode is going to start with Batar Jr. realizing Kuvira's evil and telling Korra and friends the mecha's weak point.
