In terms of damage it can take, it is. Provided no one goes for the legs. The speed combined with the bounce also still messes with laser hit registration a bit since in a single beam aimed toward the center torso from the side... will spread between arm, side torso, center torso, cockpit, center torso again, side torso again, arm, side torso yet again, leg, side torso yet still again...repeat if the laser is longer than a second.
In higher tiers however, everyone has learned "Shoot the ******* legs and be done with it."
Edit, you also have the fact that Stormcrows are 3 years old... **** gets boring after a while.
Also its "low mounts" are almost lined up with the cockpit, so much so it is almost impossible to notice. If the low mounts are a concern, you're not using it properly. Stormcrows are not pop-and-squat mechs. They are hunters and harassers. You're using it for the incorrect playstyle.
While the HBK IIC caters to almost any playstyle, Stormcrows are niche in their compatible playstyles.
The trouble with jack of all trade mechs is that they are good at anything, great at nothing. Niche mechs are great at somethings, decent to terrible at everything else. In its field, Stormcrows are superior. Outside of its field, Stormcrows are terrible. It really depends on what you're doing.
