Default obat53 Switzerland - Artillery (field guns)

Hi everyone
Based on my investigations on Swiss (obat053) artillery here some sugestions for the next release:

First on-map field guns:

unit 047 and 048; 155mm howitzer - didn't found any evidence they were ever used by the Swiss army - could be removed
unit 090 10.5cm Kan 35 with Weapon (Slot 1) 110 10.5cm Kan42 - see Weapon entry below (Kan35)
unit 091 10.5cm Haubitze with Weapon (Slot 1) 111 10.5cm Hbz46 - Date 1/46 - 12/79 (not until 12/105)
unit 092 155mm Howitzer with Weapon (Slot 1) 112 155mm M-42 FH - change name in 15cm Hb 42 and enddate 1/79

create new units:

clone from unit 090 - but change date: from 1/65 until 12/94, and Weapon 005 in slot 2 into Weapon 007
clone from unit 091 - name it 10.5cm Hb 42; Weapon 111 in slot 1 should be changed to the clone of it (10.cm Hb42 see weapon entry below); Date 1/46 - 12/79
clone from unit 091 - name it 10.5cm Hb 46; change date: from 1/65 until 12/94, and Weapon 005 in slot 2 into Weapon 007
clone from unit 091 - name it 10.5cm Hb 46; change date: from 1/80 until 12/94, and Weapon 005 in slot 2 into Weapon 007, and vision to 10
clone from unit 091 - name it 10.5cm Hb46/91; change date: from 1/91 until 12/94, and Weapon 005 in slot 2 into Weapon 007, and Weapon 111 in slot 1 into Weapon 109,
and vision to 10, and HEAT ammo to 0
clone from unit 091 - name it 10.5cm Hb46/91; change date: from 1/94 until 12/94, and Weapon 005 in slot 2 into Weapon 008, and Weapon 111 in slot 1 into Weapon 109,
and vision to 10, and HEAT ammo to 0
clone from unit 092 - name it 15cm Hb 42; change date: from 1/65 until 1/79, and Weapon 005 in slot 2 into Weapon 007

The crew numbers for unit 91 and 92 (and their clones) could be increased by 1 (total of 7 and 9)



Therefore following weapons need to be adjustet (manly new names) or looked at:

109 10.5cm Hbz46/91 is correct
110 10.5cm Kan42 must actually be 10.5cm Kan35
111 10.5cm Hbz46 is correct it's the same as Hbz42 (wich should be added as a clon from Weapon 111 and named as 10.5cm Hbz42)
112 155mm M-42 FH should be 15cm Hb 42 L28 - that seems to be the correct name for the only ever used heavy (over 105mm) field gun.
140 155mm M-50 FH I would leave it in for the PzArtK68 (SP Artillery) prototypes.



Second off-map field guns:

unit 049 M-50 155mm as before - could be removed
unit 053 10.5cm Kan 42 - see Weapon entry above (Kan35)
unit 054 10.5cm Hbz 46 - correct
unit 055 M-42 155mm FH - End date 12/79

unit 267 10.5cm Hbz+ - End date 12/94
unit 268 10.5cm Hbz+ - End date 12/94

unit 731 M-50 155mm as before - could be removed
unit 732 10.5cm Kan 42 - see Weapon entry above (Kan35)
unit 733 10.5cm Hbz 46 - correct
unit 734 M-42 155mm FH - End date 12/79


Formations:

End dates might need to be adjustet

next I'll look at the AA-guns

When that's done I will upload a new reordered version of my own.
