It takes 30 HWP shells to prep the tank/cannon vehicle.

Don't forget you also need to take out four of your men in order for the
tank to fit in if you've already maxed out on troops in your Skyranger
or Avenger.

If you get a Tank/Cannon (I don't know why), you need HWP Cannon Shells, a lot
of them.

A Tank/Rocket Launcher (these are actually useful) need 8 HWP Rockets to be
loaded, but you should generally keep around 20 on base at a time, to reload
after each mission.
