The Storm Cannon is a Stormbird's primary ranged attack. Taking this component out can bring a Stormbird down and make it vulnerable to other attacks.
Similarly, shooting at Wing Thrusters will also bring a Stormbird down and deal considerable damage. Since canister components are hard to aim at due to their size, the six Wing Thrusters are a good target because of their size and position.
