E:A - both Chimera and Hellhound are 30cms, in the downloads I have ... IMO, the closer the E:A rules are to 40K is a bad thing ...

Yup 30 cm is correct. I think the Hellhound is supposed to be a close support tank capable of keeping up with the Infantry mechanized formations (as opposed to the slow Demolisher)

Yes, in keeping with the WWII type G/W fluff the Flame Tank is an Infantry CS vehicle, like the UK Crocodile, the Flame Throwing version of the Churchill Tank. Not really that effective but it did intimidate the enemy seeing them coming. The UK tankers even stencilled "Feuerwehr" on the tank to let them know ... "Burn Baby Burn !" I did the same to some of mine with old ROCO transfers.

They really add to the Hellhounds appearance, I'd like to pinch that idea.
It will also come in handy in another way. I'm using the many surplus hellhounds I have as Chimeras. This way there will be a very noticable difference between the two.

Hi!
They remind me of the WWII shermans modified in the pacific theater for bunker busting with flame throwers.

A great way to clear a bunker or cave whose occupants won't leave. In Vietnam, flame throwing vehicles, M48s, M113s, etc., were called "Zippos" after the lighter and the results of their work called "crispy critters" after a breakfast cereal ... in closed and mixed terrain they could be useful ...
