Right, but cubes are able to be scaled separately in each axis; Coruscant has a ton of that going on.

Pretty sure that's because the engine treats unevenly-scaled cubes as collision meshes, and not primitives. Those all get merged into the single collision mesh for an object, which is supported by buildings and not by vehicles.
The art guide isn't clear re: what vehicles versus buildings support; that's just extrapolation from experience.

Huh, well that would make a lot more sense...

whats about -donotmergecollision? this would prevent the engine to merge them i guess and i dont understamd why battlefront doesnt support collision meshes for animated object, vehicles, characters and so on. is it more difficult to programm? or is it brcause of the perfomances?

The latter, I'd imagine. It's more computationally difficult to manage meshes of unknown shape, and when you're dealing with plotting per-point moving collisions, you want your meshes simple. IANA developer, though, so I'm just assuming.
