The fort's long-distance armament:
The cupola 120 as a rotating armored cupola with a total mass of 450 t and two 120 mm caliber cannons,
The two domes north and south which could be sunk under the surface of the fort when not in use. Both cupolas were rotatable and each armed with two 75 mm caliber cannons.
The two north-facing casemates, Maastricht 1 and 2, and the two south-facing casemates, Vise 1 and 2. All of these casemates were armed with three 75 mm caliber guns each.
In addition, three dummy domes made of sheet metal the size of dome 120 were set up. They should make the fort look even bigger than it already was.
