OK, now I see your point!

The fluff should perhaps state that it carries two twin-linked storm
bolters. I think that the rihno provides a somehwat more stable
weapon-platform than (even) a termie, so this could make up for the assault
cannon.

I have actually never given the assault cannon much thought. Due to lack of
minis when the Space Marine game where unavailable, all termiestands in our
gaming group consists of 4 tac SM and 1 termie.

  Hi,

  No, no, I'm afraid you misunderstood me.

  It's not that it's too powerful. It's that this should be a really BIG
storm bolter to match the stats that say that is as good as four storm
bolters together with an assault cannon fired by the best human soldiers.

  It's just a matter of coherency and consistency. If you want the same
stats as the first then just state that it carries two linked assault
cannons or something like that but never a single storm bolter.

    I cant really see that this weapon is any more powerfull than other
rhino-based weapons, such as the predator, the immolator, or the
roth-of-nurgle-rhinos wich I dont remember the name of.

    Im just uncertain wether it should transport termies...

    The weapon is too powerful. This way a single storm Bolter fired by the
gunner of a Storm Rhino (which might not be a marine) has the same power as
four storm bolters and an assault cannon fired by a terminator stand.

    I propose doubling the firepower of a Rhino (in the end a Storm Bolter
is just two linked bolters).

    So: 15 cm 2 dice 6+ 0

      I would say that the Crusader with 25 cm move would be the ideal

      An other option could be to mount them in razorbacks.
