1st. Do skimmers moving "Flat out" get a 4+ save against Smart Missile Systems?
2nd. Can a hammerhead fire it's primary weapon and it's SMS/Burst Cannons in the same turn?
3rd. Can a stealth suit move and fire it's marker-light? (The Codex says no, but the 5th ed rules give all jump inf Relentless.

1) Yes, as SMS does not redefine how cover works. it did in 4th, not so much now

2) Yes, if it doesnt move.

3) Yes they can, as tehy are not CRISIS suits - only CRISIS suits are restricted from moving and firing heavy weapons.

1) Yes
2) yes, but it cannot have moved
3) Yes. The codex does NOT say it cannot, you are thinking of Crisis Suits.

1) Yes, Skimmers get a 4+ save as they are obscured. Same with vehicles with KFF, disruption pod (provided the firer is more than 12" away) and smoke launchers. You may, however, use additional marker lights to lower the cover save
2) Yes, providing it remains stationary.
3) Yes, a stealth suit can move and fire its markerlight RaW. The Tau codex specifies that crisis suits may not move and fire their heavy weapons but is silent on any such restrictions for Stealth Suits. Ergo you follow normal jumpack rules.

Edit: Whoops, ninja'd!

1. Smart missiles remove cover for intervening terrain, so you get your save
2. Yes, if can move 6' and fire everything if the multi-tracker upgrade was purchased
3. Yes, relentless is given via 5th so they can fire on the move, this confers to attached drones as well
