Not quite. Any tank buster you cover and shelltron today you would also survive in SB due to the baked in 20% mitigation. You would take identical damage with cover+shell today as you would in july. The difference is it would cost 100 gauge to do it instead of 50. The power of cover hasn't changed, just the cost. The single exception is if you cover someone while in tabk stance as you would stack tank stance with the 20% from cover. But that is a rare and strange situation to be in.
