    So, I was attempting to use the Stormcrow, and I could not break over 300 damage. I did everything right; I hung outside of the fight, dipping in and out of combat. Yet, the thing feels insanely squishy and underpowered. Later, when I was talking to some of my friends in [-42-], they all agreed that the Crow has been reduced in power to nothing, stating the Nova had claimed the title. Is this true? Are Stormcrows no longer viable? Oh, and the Stormcrow is indeed my own.

    SCR is still the powerhouse of choice for medium clan brawlers. As depicted above, the 12 SPL build wrecks faces, Negan style. But the SRM and streak boat versions are continuing are continuing to run strong in their own right.

    I just still feel really squishy in the Crow, but I'll try those loadouts; small pulse or SRMs.

    Its still a good mech but the Nova has better quirks imo. I love JJ so the Nova wins out for me personally.

    Both are viable really
    just see it as a fast guy with two sharp knifes or a maceman who can really run and bash
    even with 6 spl + 4 srm6 is cool too

    Nova just lost its structural quirks which kinda sucks :(

    Yeah but it still feels ok just more vulnerable.

    the crows or any other medium mechs are not meant to be good at taking a good tanking
    but they are definately good are killing people
    so hug your ass-salt and your meatshield, let them do the tanking and get thanks from them for saving their asses
