When i play on "Hix" map i like standing on the boxes but sometimes shot that come at me are shots i can't tell are in the air or ground shots resulting in me getting killed.
Any tips would be nice with this problem.
The light at the end of the tunnel... might always be a oncoming train.
Now, there is a setting that can help judge the shot height better. It's located in Options -> GUI Settings -> Colored shots on radar -> ON (it's the 8th setting from the top).

Home that helps.
How would this help determine the height of the shots?
Aren't all shots rendered with an opacity level relative to your tank? In R3, with the zy-plane as the ground and z is up, the smaller the distance between the z value of your tank and the z value of the bullet, the more opaque the bullet is.
when a shot is coming at you you can tell the height that it is by looking at how faint or opaque it is so if its strong coloured then its more level with you and if its faint then its not.. hope this helps.

Uh, white shots are not rendered with the opacity level relative to my tank when I have the setting on. All shots, independent of my tanks height have the same opacity. For this reason I have colored shots turned on, only then can I determine what height they are at.
Yeah, one way is to turn colored shots on. Another way that i use most often is i see the person who shot the shot is at my height on the radar. You just see how big if the box around there tank is at your level or around on the radar.
The 3D view is called "out the window" in most games I think. (You are looking out the one-way tank windshield I suppose- although technically you are looking right out of your cannon)
