The door is part of the hull just like wings are part of the hull of a flyer. The difference is the flyer has a door, DPs do not as they are open topped.....even though they do have doors....like I said yesterday it is stupid.

Then your thinking is faulty.

Also refers to the airframe of an aircraft or the body of a tank. Your selective definitions are tiresome mr. supervisor of people.

Just looked up the rule book.

"Open-topped Transports

Open-topped vehicles do not have specific Access Points. Instead, all of the vehicle is considered to be an Access Point (regardless of any base they may have)."

I'm just not sure if Inertial Guidance moves you far enough to ensure all of the doors can open, or just far enough for it to land and only open the doors as much as you can based on the terrain.

"Shooting at Vehicles

When a unit fires at a vehicle, it must be able to see its hull or turret (ignoring the vehicle's gun barrels, antennas, decorative banner poles, etc). Note that, unlike for other models, a vehicle's wings are not ornamental and are a part of its hull."
