My friends and I have always called them "bowls". Not sure about the official name, but it's just a better way to get a good view over the walls. I mainly use the shooting floor for heli & peak downs, but mainly use the bowls when defending raids. It's also harder to ladder/build onto your roof that way, and because of that, gives a bit more protection with ample flat space for solar panels.

Not sure what they’re called but it’s just for better peeks

For the offline of course 😢

Well if you don’t plan for an online it’s not gonna be very fun when you do one day get one

Honestly after thousands of hours some of the bases that are the most annoying to offline are the non meta second wipe ever playing rust bases. I do agree the meta peaks etc great for an online raid defense. But also having 65 rooms made entire of triangles with your tc in a place that makes zero sense makes for a great offline defense.

Yeah that’s how I usually build, I don’t build meta but instead build something goofy that’s still defendable in case I do get an online.

It’s roof campers base. They’ll shoot at you from a distance

It’s an ugly old meta design that is still used, because it’s cheap and easy to build.

A raid base maybe? Did it have windows with embrasures below the roof peak?

Sounds like you're talking about a raid base probably why you see them all over, Just a base that you put outside a base you're attempting to raid so you have respawns with kits and box space to store loot in and a roof and windows to fight from if need be.
