Default Albanian artillery

I would like to make a couple of suggestions for the Albanian OOB (obat55): (1) add the Chinese 100mm Type 86 ATG and (2) add the Chinese 130mm Type 59 FG.

I think the Albanians may be the only other user of the 100mm Type 86 ATG (i.e. obat14/ Unit 089) apart from the PLA. The SIPRI Trade Register (Link) says that they were delivered between 1976 and 1978. That is unlikely because the gun was developed in the ‘80s. It is possible that 1976 and 1978 should be 1986 and 1988. I do not know whether they are still in service, in reserve or withdrawn from service. 50 were still in service as late as 2002.

According to SIPRI the Albanians received the 130mm Type 59 FG (obat14/ Unit 094) between 1971 and 1975. Some may still be in service today. A few were still in service as late as 2004.
