Default Indian Pinaka MRL

In the Indian OOB (18), I found that unit 501, the 214mm Pinaka MRL, has 2x12 rockets; in reality, as many pics and sources readily available on the web confirm, it has 2 packets of 6 each, so just 12 in total, just like the US MLRS system - please put this on the list; also, the off-map version, unit 531, should be corrected as well;

It is reported that this launcher also fires rockets with bomblets, so I experimented a bit and created a version with submunitions for personal use - stats are slightly lower than the MLRS rocket but it works pretty well against Paki & Chinese tanks- maybe you want to add this one as well if you got more data available that I do.
