All projectiles except propelled ordnance and bombs follow a simple trajectory formula (ignoring glide, coriolis force and air resistance).

To get the max height you need launch angle and muzzle velocity like this:

 

_muzzleVelocity = 300;//in metres per second
_angle = 45;
_height = (_muzzleVelocity^2 *sin _angle^2) / (2 * 9.80665);
hint str _height //prints 2294.36

 

You can get the muzzlevelocity from config and the angle from some modelToWorld wizardry using gunBeg and gunEnd config entries of the respective weapons.
