how many cannon shells do i need to load the HWP?

[Kipjdgammer]

i cant get my HWP on the skyranger because "there are not enough cannon shells to fully equip HWP" or something like that. I don't know how much HWP cannon ammo i need, a google search didn't help at all, and I don't have the time or the patience to buy one, try putting it on the skyranger, buy another, rinse and repeat. if someone could answer me i would really apreciate it.

I tink it's eight

nah, i decided to play a bit while i waited, i bought ten to see if that would work but it didn't. im just gonna buy 10, try it, buy another 10, try that, until i get it. if i get extras thats fine, extras are good. I can also sell them if the cannon tanks are no good, then try the other tanks to see if they are good.

just got it. i had 30 shells and it let me add the tank. thanks for the reply.

the answer must be between 20-30.

For all non energy weapon hwps, you must have enough ammo for a full magazine once battle starts.

Cannon hwp is 30.
The rocket hwp is 8.
The Launcher hwp is 8.


Try the rocket hwp next. IMHO, it's way better than the cannon hwp. The launcher HWP is the best if you're using blaster bombs. If not, the plasma HWP is the best scout in the game.

Yeah Rocket tank is great for early terror sites to get rid of Cyberdiscs. Usually more accurate than a rookie with a launcher and carries more ammo. Only downside is no XP for the tank.

Past that though, the rocket tanks abiilty to demolish terrain is a pretty useful thing to have in your back pocket.
