200 wp for vehicle destruction
25 wp for equipment destruction (only in vehicles, if distinction is possible. This would help give a role for ADS to hit more than just infantry and harass HAV/LAV.)
NEW wp for damage done to HAV and DS : 35 wp suppression for meeting a damage threshold of 1000 damage in 5 seconds.

Let's take this piecemeal. 200 for a tank destruction, up from 150, might make sense in an AV suit, but doesn't make sense for other vehicles, as the last thing we need is extra points being given to tanks killing tanks.
25WP for equipment, might be a good incentive for vehicles to destroy equipment, but honestly, why only for vehicles? Can't you make the same argument for suits (it would give them a role for fill more than just infrantry and HAV/LAV harrassment). The point should be to make vehicles better at killing equipment (ie: make it easier) and then, you wouldn't need the extra WPs.
Finally, the damage threshold can be easily abused (each forge gun shot, or rail tank shot) would easily meet this, and woudln't necessarily lead to any destruction of enemy vehicles (as it might be more profitable WP-wise to shoot multiple targets rather than kill one target). WP need to be given for destruction of enemy vehicles, not for trying.
I swear, the kids these days want a medal for trying, not for accomplishing. |

The issue is not that I can't blow up equipment in a DS, it's that my average games only get me an average of 400 wp. You don't get much sp and isk for that. And the risk to lose my ADS is astronomically high. I have lost three in one match, that's 1.2 mil!! I can afford it, but that's not the point. The point is what I have to do to afford it. I put time and risk into chasing away HAVs. I risk low flights for what? Saving private Ryan? That's cool and all but doesn't make me a war hero as I burn up like a metal meteor and crash into the ground. I know that some people might forge hit for the wp, then let tank recover, but if you really think about it, so what! The tank will constantly be being hit, other people are firing at it anyway, if the AVer doesn't want to continue firing and finish up for the destruction then he loses. Who doesn't want that base 150 plus 50 per crew member? No one is going to let a tank exist for 35 wp, but if you are working hard to take it out, and you lose suits putting shots on it, and it just barely lives then you don't lose your effort. Also, this means tanks have to understand they are risking giving the team wp for engaging, which leads to OB.
