What is the point of Bladestorm resolving at AP2 if it automaticall wounds? They opposing players wouldn't get a saving throw anyways. I'm just not quite sure why the Bladestorm descriptions even bothers to mention the AP value.

Basically its Rending... it cuts through armor but invuls/cover saves can be taken. Pretty standard GW terminology.

Without the d3 vehicle piece of course.

When it says it automatically wounds that doesn't mean "no saves allowed"
Just that it still wounds something even if the Str/T chart would indicate you can't wound. By adding the AP 2 it threatens both huge toughness MCs, elite infantry and everything in between.

Automatically wound does not mean unsaved wound. They still get to roll a save (which will invul or cover since it's ap2).

Ah I see. Thank you very much for the clarification.

There is also Special Abilities out there which take the AP of the weapon into consideration, for example Aun'va is completely immune to AP 1 shots thanks to his additional 'inverse save.'

8th made it so I can no longer sway Tau onto the side of Chaos, but they will eventually turn aside from their idea of the Greater Good to embrace the Greatest of pleasures.
