hello I have a quick question about D weapons. I was wondering if I can get some help with.

A.

Shooting section Pg. 50 (digital) under "the shooting sequence"

Statement 4= roll to hit, Statement 5= roll to wound, Statement 6= allocate wound and take a saving throw

B.

Vehicles and Cover – Obscured Targets Pg. 147(digital) 4rth bullet point

If the target is obscured and suffers a glancing hit, a penetrating hit, or is otherwise
hit by an enemy shooting attack that inflicts damage upon it [...], it must take a cover save against it, exactly like a
non-vehicle model would do against a Wound . If the save is passed, the hit is discarded, no
Hull Points are lost and no roll is made on the Vehicle Damage table.

C.

Destroyer weapon special rule under special rules Pg. 327 & 328 (digital)

result 2-5
Solid Hit: The model suffers a penetrating hit that
causes it to lose D3 Hull Points instead of 1.

Question:
Now because under point B it says to follow point A " exactly like a
non-vehicle model would do against a Wound" in point A "Statement 6= allocate wound and take a saving throw" in this the saving throw comes after the wound. In point C if you roll 2-5 the model is auto penetrated and now a roll is thrown for D3 hullpoints. So my question is when I roll for a D weapon hit and score a 2-5 does my opponent roll his save right there and then or do I then roll my D3 and for example I roll the max of 3 hullpoints, does my opponent roll his cover for each hullpoint?

For vehicles, you don't roll cover saves against lost hull points, you roll cover saves against penetrating or glancing hits (as your point B states). So, you roll for cover once, and if he fails that cover save, the vehicle loses D3 hull points. If he passes the cover save, nothing further happens.

OMG!!!! well I am definitely going to rage quit using my danm expensive super heavy

thanks for the quick reply
