We ran into this issue in a game just now. IG tanks were firing at Fexes over the heads of Gaunts. Because the Turret is elevated, and the Gaunts were faster than the fexes because they were running while the fexes were shooting, at some point they lost the intervening mode save, even though the Gaunts were still between the Tank and the Fexes.

I would rather that cover be less complicated, and that intervening modes (25% LOS blocking or not) grant a 5+ cover, but that doesn't seem to be the rules, and leads to many arguments of when the threshold is crossed.

I spend 4-5 times as much time arguing about Cover Saves and LOS in every game I play as every other rule combined. I feel like my local group should develop a house rule to simplify this, and remove the part of it that is left up to interpretation.
