Default Re: China OOB21 and OOB14 v.11

Infantry guns

102 37mm Cannon (TR mle 16 gun) - photo is eg. 9400, dedicated icon 8033.
However, there is no French 37mm infantry gun mentioned on the page https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/theo...-t352-s10.html
(same for OOB14)

There is only 37mm Skoda M.15 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3.7_cm...h%C3%BCtz_M.15) (more non-Chinese photos https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/C...h%C3%BCtz_M.15) and probably captured Japanese 37mm Type 11 from mid-30s.

108 37mm Cannon (different class) (SA17 L21 gun) - as above. Anyway, the weapon should rather be the same as 103 (towed gun was TR mle 16, SA17 was tank gun).
(same for OOB14)

103 65mm Cannon - Italian M.13 gun. The quoted page mentions only French 65mm Mle 06 used (eg. Polish unit #409, with photo 468).
Same for 109 unit.
Icons of both units should be unified (2108 is OK)
(same for OOB14)

105 75mm Cannon - photo is Type 94 mountain gun - proper photo for Type 41 mountain gun is Japanese 2433.
I suggest icon 2122, with better fits to its double trail (photos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_4...m_mountain_gun)
Same for 111 unit
(same for OOB14)

106 76mm Cannon
- Soviet guns were delivered only from some 1938 (now 1/30)
(Same for 112 unit)
(same for OOB14)

120 76.2mm M1927 IG - duplicate of unit 112 in the same class, with different names, but identical specifications (and wrong icon). The only practical difference is a rifle instead of a carabine.
(same for OOB14)

76mm M1909 mountain gun might be used instead (eg. Romanian #133), but I don't know if there is a sense - they probably weren't very numerous


107 95mm Cannon
- no mention on 3.7in howitzer to be delivered by the British on the quoted page.
Same for 113 unit.
(same for OOB14)

75mm Bofors mountain gun could be copied to China from some 1933 (eg. Dutch #298, but Hogg's "Twentieth-century artillery" credits it with a range 9,300 m).

Possibly #92 75mm Pack How (most numerous Chinese gun) should be copied as infantry howitzer as well.
