My first question is can this hatch be opened and closed turn to turn?

Second, If it has to be open all of the time to fire out do I have to model it that way?

Third and most important, with the hatch open then the chimera is opened topped. Does this mean that the troops inside can hop out the front, shoot, and then assault?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233889/623269.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233889/623269.page GMT
The Codex specifies that the Chimera only counts as open topped in your opponent's shooting phase if using the fire point. The vehicle is not open topped in any other phase, including your opponent's assault phase. As such, no you may not assault out of it (unless stationary). Heck, it's not even that large of a hatch compared to the Rhino fire point! No climbing out of it either, the only access port on a Chimera is on the rear.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233889/623309.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233889/623309.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233889/623314.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233889/623314.page GMT
