The height is a speed perception thing. The taller the vantage point, the slower the perceived motion, even if the speed of travel is the same.
No it is much more than that. I am judging by how fast the mech can extract itself from a bad situation and the Huntsman is far slower at doing it than the Nova or the the Crow. For example, if you peek in a Crow and find more enemy there than you were expecting, it is very fast to break and reverse accelerate. The Huntsman on the other hand seems to respond much more sluggishly both in breaking and the reverse accelerating. Also on of the characteristics of the Stormcrow is that it can climb slopes like a mountain goat while the Huntsman seems to bleed speed very quickly. Part of that is due to the higher top speed of the Crow but the loss of speed when climbing and the acceleration/deceleration has nothing to do with speed.
Also as I found out and mentioned, the Nova has the "Small" movement profile which means without quirks, it has the same movement profile as an Arctic Cheetah in terms of agility, climbing, turning, etc. This is of course why I feel the huge difference between how the mechs handle.
