Point 3 is cramped by the heated hut with the crane on its top. So you put the lift there, and an MG42 in the lift - requiring the lift to carry a heavy weapon all the time is making the engineering pointlessly hard, and you need to defend the lift against ground attackers.

Point 4 can have a heavy weapon if you want. Its sky arc is a bit cramped by the crane, which is why my original plan had another MG42 there.

The crane needs to have a standard parked position that has the job horizontal and pointing away from the centre of the pillar, to cause the minimum possible interference to weapons.

Thanks.

If I wanted to place a Solothurn S-18/1000 rifle on a flexible mount for a marksman to shoot shantaks or other flying monsters, where should I aim to put it?

Would it have the widest coverage at Point 4, which is at least high up, or on another roof somewhere, maybe only 5-10 meter high?

Maybe Point 4 should just mount a fairly light mount which fits both the Mauser T-Gewehr and the PzB 39, which could be placed there if needed, but are usually kept inside guard quarters.
