So Tau tanks if they move get 5+ cover save.

If they take distruption pods they get 4+

What happens if they also have cover or moved into cover? 3+? 2+?

Two things:

One, you're looking for the YMDC sub-forum.
Two, disruption pods are +1 cover save. So it depends on the type of cover.

whatever cover save you have you +1 with Dpod.

and what kinda cover. behind trees you will get 4+ with dpod.

behind ruins 3+ and so on.

I dont recall inside area terrain (at work no BRB)

Can we move this topic?

And yes, it adds +1. So 6+ in the open. Jink is 5+...so if the tank moves it is 4+.

If the tank moves into cover...does it add on as well?

Is the tank 25% obscured? If so, then it gets cover from whatever obscures it. Then it gets +1 to that cover save from the dpods.

So if I have Distruption pods 6+....move (4+) into cover...do I now get a 2+? If the model is covered 25% or more?

No. the 5+ for moving is a cover save. Cover saves don't stack.
The only thing that stacks is the +1 for Dpods.

No, you get 2 covers save

1) 5+ for being a moving skimmer, improved to 4+ by Dpod
2) If the cover is a RUIN you get a 4+ save, improved to 3+, if you are actually obscured

The rules then require you to take the best save.
