When to use remote lines?
Why don't more paintball guns use remote lines to their tanks? I see a lot of the senerio guns do. Is it for weight balance?

Keep the extra weight off the marker, though without a stock it makes it harder to aim, and it's harder to switch hand for shooting.

If your gun has a stock, you have the option of running a remote line.
If your gun has no stock (ie: is not mil-sim style) then I would say you don't have the option if you want to remain effective. Put the tank on your gun.

Look at your comment. Back to mine. Back to yours NOW BACK TO MINE. Sadly, it isn't mine. But if you stopped trolling and started posting legitimate crap it could LOOK like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You're scrolling through the comments, finding the ones that your comment could look like. Back at mine, what is it? It's a highly effective counter-troll. Look again, MY COMMENT IS NOW DIAMONDS.

Yeah, mostly it's for use with a stock. I don't want to piggyback a stock on top of my ASA and have two things sticking out the back of the marker. And yeah, it does make aiming offhand harder because you have to cross the remote across your body along with the marker.

For scenario play, I frequently use a remote on my Empire AXE and have no problem aiming without a stock. Any marker that can take a tank can take a remote and with a good remote it is not hard to switch hands. Also when you are playing CQB in buildings sometimes the stock or tank prevents you from getting the right angle out a window.

Honestly remotes are dumb. Unless you have a mil-sim type gun and you're trying to keep the integrity of the look OR you need to shoot two cases of paint in one game with a huge tank, there is no benefit to a remote.
Remotes prevent you from switching hands easily as others have said, which can get you shot. They cling and grab onto things, especially if you're playing bushball, which can get you shot. Contrary to popular belief, they actually KILL your mobility by ruining your natural center of gravity(you can't run as quick). Not to mention diving, rolling and squeezing into tight places becomes tougher, which can get you shot. It's an added cost with virtually no technical benefits.
Granted you may not care about all of the above if you're just playing playing milsim but if you DO care about improving your skills, even in reg play.......tank on gun will make you a much more effective player in every situation.
