 With the addition of the 88m gun on all fields I think it's important to go over field gun information. You have two basic types of guns, manable guns you can get in a fire, and auto guns that fire at enemy targets when in their range. Manable guns can also be split into the new 88 mm gun and the 37 mm single. The difference between manable and auto guns is very apparent as the manable guns have square emplacements and the auto guns have circular ones. The difference between the 88 mm gun and the manable 37 mm is less apparent and much more difficult to spot. They both have square emplacements so you have to really see the gun itself. Good news is that they are about equal in lethality so it's a good idea to strafe any square gun emplacements to make sure they are down. Personally, this blind may has to zoom in all the way and overfly it to see if they up or down. I think the 88 mm might have a larger smoke cloud on firing but that is from the 88 mm view and not sure if it's visible from the air.
The guns positions are on the clipboard maps, so they are new. I guess that means new fuzemaps are in order.
The number and type of field gun at each field is listed below. IMO it's a good idea to fly around the respective fields in the TA or offline to look and spot the guns. You could also use CM Eye mode in TA or offline too. Shore Batteries are not listed as there seems to be no consistency in their numbers.

Small Field- 2x 88mm, 4x 37mm Single,
Medium Field- 3x 88mm, 6x 37mm single.
Large Field- 4x 88mm, 6x 37mm single.
Vehicle Field- 2x 88mm, 2x 37mm single, 2x 17 pounders.
Port- 3x 88mm, 2x 37mm single, 2x 17 pounders.
