ok, so what is a "tank" Accordingly to the current rules it is any fully tracked vehicle, so that means an M113 is a tank, and would be stratecially an excellent choice as its only 750mm long at 1:6 scale, and can be armed with 40 shots due to variations that exist with a 75mm canon.
But what happens when its used as a support vehicle, its still 4 shots to kill, even though it has piddly ~25mm aluminum armor? I think perhaps better to leave the rules like they are.

And I will say that a 2 hit tank can only loose 500 of those all important points per visit to the battle field . Moreover it is often not greatly harder to land 4 shots on the side of a hull than it is to land 2 , if a good positioned is reached. So there from a points point of view, there can be an advantage being a 2 hit tank . My original comment was purely for a rule simplification as people do come to battles not knowing the rules.
