A Stromcrow-D outfitted exclusively with S-SRM6 is an incredibly easy mech to play.
You'll have decent speed, a lot of firepower, and most light mechs wont even dare mess with you.
I highly recommend you carry and active probe!
Edit: Chain-fire will drastically increase your heat efficiency.
I can not entirely agree, SSRM's require still some positioning and lockign and holding locks. Not the easiest things for newbs, especially sicne this is very much a "close range" mech and means newbies may do a wrong step dying rather fast.
For a medium, SCR is a good choice, probably one of the best hitboxes you can find. but for newbies, a combo of lrm's and lasers may be better.
