Default Gun shields

The illustrated encyclopedia of artillery by Ian Hogg says a gun sheild is,
A steel plate... to protect the gun detachment from bullets and shell splinters.

Could AT guns get a value of 1 for HF and TF to show this?
When shielded guns are mounted on vehicles they sometimes get the 1 value for their sheild, for example
Great Britians unit 387 C9/B 40mm SPAA or Germanies 484 SdKfz 8 FlaK 18 and 956 RSO/PaK 40
Other vehicles with AT guns mounted on top can be treated differently,
Such as German units 867 868 UE630 3.7 PaK, 611 PzJ Bren(e) PaK and 709 PzKw 740(r). These vehicles have turret 1 values for front sides and rear, but maybe should have 0 value turret sides and rear.

Also many field guns have a shield and maybe should have a front hull and front turret value of 1.

French unit 205 Laffly W15 TCC comes in both fully enclosed and just a gun shield version. You are using the fully enclosed version.

Besides all the AT and field guns these units could also have a front 1 value shield,

The Russian 37mm (054) and 85mm (112,382) AA guns sometimes did have a shield fitted, also the Japanese 75mm AA gun (159,187) sometimes had a shield.
French canone 105 courte mle 1935 B and canone 105 L mle 1936 Schneider (047?,218?) wheels toe in to form a shield.
Russian Pulemet Maksima Obrazets 1910 MG, (057,443,514,610) Degtyereva-Shpagina Obrazets 1938 G (059,444,613), Pulemet Obrazets 1939 (439,445,611) and Stankovii Pilemet Goryunova Obrazets 1943G (058,442,612) often have a shield. The Japanese type 92 HMG (038,316) can also have a shield fitted.(according to forgotten weapons utube videos)

I think adding a shield would be a good improvement, making these items a bit more survivable than they are, they already have the bunched up crew penalty and will remain very exposed to overhead shelling.
I can identify all the units in all the OObs that need this change if that is helpfull.
