yes, in theory
that's how the pointmod works at least
stanks are worth 90 points total, when the kill bonus is added
therefore, hitting it will give you more than hitting a med tank would for equal damage
(because a med tank only costs 800, and because a higher point value is distributed through a lower system of hit points)
more points awarded in less time = a higher value target

however, with the original, bugged points it's not consistent like this
hitting a stealth tank gives far more than any other ground-based vehicle, and i have always wondered why

stanks have low health/armor/type and do a lot of damage and are also stealth. Makes sense to me that they would give a lot of damage points.

i actually misunderstood your post; no, not at all

with the pointmod the points are the same regardless of when you hit it (unless you get the kill shot on the target)

points bug gives 10 points for sniping a green flame, light , or medium tank (costing 800, 600, and 800)
it gives 12 for sniping a mammy (costing 1500)
you're doing comparatively less damage to a mammy since it has so much more health, but still receive more points for doing so than you do with the others mentioned above

you receive 22 for sniping a stank even though it has only 200 less hit points than the light tank

stealth tanks have 400 hit points, not 200

5/400 compared to 5/1200 - ok, sure, makes sense
but then light tanks are 600, so 5/400 compared to 5/600
and the 5/400 gives you more than double the 5/600

why, if you're doing more damage as a whole to the light tank, does it give you less than the mammoth tank does

i don't get what you're trying to explain MUDKIPS

god dammit, should be 400, early morning posts suck

it's simple

Stank = 5/400x900 = 11.25
Mammy = 5/1200x1500 = 6.25

It's all part of the big illusion that we perpetuate on ourselves and in turn is perpetuated upon us. When we believe, we engage the illusion. When we stop believing we shatter the illusion and shatter ourselves in the process. Because we are, part of it.
