Tank size for back players
If i were playing back on my team should i worry about size and how heavy my tank and gun are together or should i just be worried about having maybe a 68/45 to ensure i can be raining paint most of the match? Or should i also be worried about not being able to move around as fast because my gun is heavier than having a smaller tank.

Personally I'd use the 68/45. Not enough air would be just as detrimental as to few pods. In the back your job is to fully support your team and if you run out of air/paint you severely limit your ability to support yout team mates.

depends what kind of gun you have and what format you are playing. in 5 or 3 man a efficient poppit gun would be fine with a 45/45 tank because you could still get 1200 or more shots off. In 7 man id go with a larger tank just so you can have that extra paint to shoot if you need it. now if you have a marker that is not so efficient I would go with the 68/45 tank so you will get at least 1000 shots off.

yeah definetely should use a 68 4500 not having enough air for a back player is tragic and if you buy the right tank you can have a 68ci tank that is pretty lightand a much shorter length than they used to be. buy a 68 4500 with a myth reg and your set. dont cut corners on a tank

Ruhspect teh dodgy!

68/4500 is the tank for all players. If you play PSP, I suggest a 56/4500 Empire/Invert tank. A little lighter and in PSP points are only 30 seconds-2 minutes.

I personally would go with a 70ci stubby. Holds a little more air, and stubby seems to work better for me. But its all up to you.

I used a myth'd 45/45 for 2 years or so, haven't played any other position but back. I'm switching to a 68/45 and putting my myth on that. I had some problems running and gunning with such a small tank. I'm 5'5 as well so that may sound a bit weird but in turn I will have a fairly small, light tank plus all the air I need.
