Since i'm a bit busy with RL things, there is not much space for model making and disco stuff at the moment. I hope that i can return to my beloved Maya soon and do more stuff. The Rheinland battlecruiser is my second model now which i've ever made.

Exactly. This hidden section don't need a free view to the front. That's why the engineers... *coughs*... decided to hide it behind the reinforced front.
It's a safe room for the canteen. So the crew can enjoy their Apfelstrudel and Bier in peace, without to worry about a pressure loss during a battle.
But it is up to the captains for what purpose they want to use the rooms.
Technically seen, windows on space ships are pure luxury and aren't realy needed becouse the crew can see things via ship sensors anyway. But just imagine a space ship without windows. It would look terrible.

That's the Observation Bridge, which should always have a good view to the front. Those guys inside there have a dangerous job indeed.

They can be found at the "Sketchfab preview" on the right side.

You can. Maybe you need some plugins for your browser or something. There should be a notice from Sketchfab regarding this error.

My version can also have a forward gun. Well, iRP at least. I didn't made a forward gun HP yet becouse i was unsure if the devs will be happy about it. But i had it in mind and it can still be added later. If there is interest in a FG for the "Rhein"-class from the devs side, i will be happy to make a BC FG model.
There are two possible areas which could carry one.
