One thing CFS 2 was missing for a long time was large Japanese flak guns 75 MM is effective but not that effective on higher flying aircraft. The 127 MM DP from AF is decent but need larger, esp for future B-29 missions etc. Read Japanese had 140 MM AA guns etc.Possible to give some of the AF 140 MM etc artillery pieces a a DP and make them AA guns? Like the 127 DP?

Japanese AAA guns
I believe they had a 100mm DP gun that was referred to as the 100mm machine gun due to it's very fast rate of fire. Was used on ships and I've seen photos of them as AAA around airfields. I'll see if I can locate some photos.

They had 120mm and captured 88mm flak early in war of German design but these were shipboard guns and not the regular 88mm used by germany

This https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_99_88_mm_AA_Gun and this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_3_12_cm_AA_Gun may be what your for.

Thought this 1944 article might provide some useful background info.
Several remarks about how inaccurate Hvy AA was, particularly above medium altitudes. They struggled with modern fire control systems that were useful at altitude (or against fast movers). So not as deadly as German (or Allied) systems.

I have been known to use German 88s on a few Japanese bases a time or two.....just sayin'

Here is another site for Japanese Guns. Its mostly for Naval guns but some listings include land based.

Did you try changing its rate of fire so that it shoots more rapidly?
Or, change its damage impact?

dasuto,
see my other post with a website link. that will explain the entries and what they do.
here it is again incase you missed it...
http://www.cfgse.calebflerk.com/DP_Guns.htm
without using DPed, this will help explain it to you. once you know where to look you can then make your own changes.
If you need more info, look in the "how to" doc in the DPed folder. I have some other doc files that can help with your DP edits.

Dasuto, the 5.5 inchs was not an antiaircraft cannon. The more curious use of a naval cannon for antiaircraft use was an explosive 18 inchs shell used by Yamato class battleships! Obviously, it was useless. The naval cannons were effective weapons, but lacked a good control. Please, go to the Combined Fleet site, it is very enlightening!
Cheers
