The highest height a box can be, and still can shoot tanks on it. My guestimate is between 1.55-1.65.

Standard _muzzleHeight is 1.57. I would guess that box height >= 1.57 wouldn't work.

so 1.56?

Probably. I would try 1.50 first.

I often use 1.5 to shoot over.

ya, 1.5 tanks can barely shoot over. But im wanting to be able to shoot a tank from a building and they cant shoot me.

Try this (perhaps):

Make building's height 1.0
Set the variable _muzzleHeight to .9

The _muzzleHeight of a tank on the building will then be 1.0 + .9 = 1.9. Since normal _tankHeight = 2.05, a tank on the ground 'should' be hit by tank on building, but not the other way around.

I have not tested this theory.

Many older maps designed for bzflag 1.10 need muzzleHeight raised slightly to operate correctly. 1.59 is enough
