Question from an HPA beginner; Bring one (or more) airtanks?
Posted: 11 Jun 2016, 22:51
Hello,
So Berget 14 will be the 2nd time I join the game, but the first time ever I'll be using HPA. A friend convinced me to buy the Wolverine Inferno, but as a total beginner of this I am wondering; will I manage with only one HPA tank at Berget?
we all know this stuff ain't exactly cheap and I have allready put a lot of $$$ into other things necessary for the game. My economy isn't exactly the greatest. My friend think I will be needing at least TWO fully charged tanks so that I won't run out of air during the game. He has been using HPA for about half a year, but played at last years BE 13 with AEG. So he hasn't been using HPA for any longer game yet, and I feel he isn't exactly the best person to know these things. He ofc has two tanks that he will be playing with.
The tank I have now is 62ci/3000psi, and it's fully charged. But do I really "NEED" a second reserve tank?
I know this question has many bottoms. It depends on a lot of things. In a heavy firefight I expect to shoot quite intensively. But if it's anything like last years BE 13, where I walked on patrols a lot of the times, only encountering smaller (sometimes bigger) firefights whilst mostly using semi, I don't see the need for a second air tank.
But then again, I don't know how long a tank will last with "moderate" shooting? Any HPA users in here who could help me out with this? What are your experiences from previous BE games and do you guys bring a second or several tanks?
Thanks,
