Per my own experience (i run a set on a heachi and a pair on a tulu doc), Theyre pretty good. I'd put them a bit ahead on punishers in damage at 250m and below. They chew through ancile superbly. Storm haechi can make short work of tharnage as can tulu/storm Doc. Fire rate is superior to thunders. Theyre also great for team play and add a bit of cqc bite to mechs youd normally avoid knife fighting in. I'm currently testing out a thunderstorm boa but finding that effectivity has gone down compared to thunder/taran. Possibly the difference of having to chew through ancile rather than bypassing it.

Rhino, is a bit tricky to master. I couldnt pilot him well to save my life though. He does capping well and against energy, he's a tank. And theres a lot of energy weapons being bandied about nowadays as a reaction to the "haechi invasion". Others can probably give you a more detailed run down on it.
Both have their good points but weapons usually tend to be more versatile. I suggest trying out a rhino on the test server or a friends account if he fits your playing style. Storms too. Then decide. But do get a second storm. Theyre better in pairs and shouldnt set you back too much.

Don't waste WSPs on the Storm. It's not good unless you have a bot that can quickly close the distance between you and your enemy, in order to do full damage with the Storms. And, you know, the only bots that have medium hardpoints and can do that are Dash bots.

Ive run it in pairs on tulu/doc and rog. They do good damage. On a haechi though, they can decimate reds.

Storm is worth it IMO, but not until you have all your other WSP purchases in order. If you slap a storm on a gareth, it will most likely die of rockets before you get close enough to do anything. Rhino is a great bot IMO, and despite it being tricky to master it is really good for a knifer. As ezekielcrow said, it is doing well right now because of the plasma meta against the haechis. I would keep your thunderstorm boa, as it has the health to make it close. I would put a magnum on your golem, just because one aphid isn't that useful. After this event you would have another aphid, which I would put on your griffin as an aphid taran griffin.

I have run 2 storm (L8) on a Rog with surprising success (Gold iOS). It is map dependant of course but Valley, Moon and Dead City are the picks. It will not make you invincible by the way. I think some players tend to treat you as not much of a threat and you can chew them up reasonably quickly.

Sorry for the half hijack, but just won 2.5 storms form a gold chest..... can make that three and run them on a dash if that makes sense, but would mean not running either Orkans or Tarans on the Dash. The upgrade costs on these things are high and I do have better things to be spending resources on if they are not clearly better that what I have. Not sure if these things are an improvement on the tried and tested Taran / Orkan options?

Not sure if these things are an improvement on the tried and tested Taran / Orkan options? From the videos I've seen of the storm (I don't own any), the storm is heavily dependent on range while Tarans and Orkans aren't. The Storm looks like it does more damage than tarans up close, but less burst potential than the Orkans. For this reason, I prefer tarans/orks... I'd prefer to have a little distance from my target. They seem strong enough to be in the Taran/Orkan tier, just depends on if you like the playstyle or not.

Not sure if these things are an improvement on the tried and tested Taran / Orkan options? They are on the only K-Bot I own on any account. I prefer them on the Haechi over Orks. On that account I only have 2 Tarans so can't say much to that... but if you like Thunder Carnage, you will like Haechi Storm. Better than Orks? I won't say that. They are different. Comparable to Orks in effectiveness, yes. Better? No. You don't play an Orkan Rog like a Thunder Carnage, do ya? Storms on a Haechi (properly leveled... this is key) is a great match-up of bot capabilities and weapon damage: I can go head to head against a Thunder Carn and win. DBs have to catch me with my Dashes empty. Plasma is my bane unless I can slip into point blank range while they are distracted. Then, even if they manage acquire aim and attempt to shoot at me I will kill them before they kill me. So, should you divert resources? Man I couldn't say. I take a variety is the spice of life approach to this game and try everything I can get my hands on. Are Storms worth owning and using on a Haechi, in general? Yes. At least, up into Expert. Once you see the Champion meta I don't know how it would hold up. I don't play there and am not aiming to any time soon. IMO, YMMV.

why not plan for both? Get the Storm, then work on the Rhino, and then plan on the Gust when it comes out.

I did this with a Storm (level 5 or 6, can't remember which) Cossack (level 7): I had a really good team and it was a quick spawn rush.
