IJN Guns and Weapons Pack - IJN Guns and Weapons Pack

I have submitted for upload to the CFS 3 Weapons section, a naval gun pack for Imperial Japanese Navy ships, giving them their own weapons instead of using a mash up of US, UK and German weapons. All information regarding range, shell weights and firing rates have been simulated from various sources including Osprey Published books and the excellent http://www.navweaps.com/ site.
