Thanks Panda, Good explanation. I am talking about the J & P mod (the only thing I play). For further clarification, I get the accuracy and reload information from the tooltips box that opens when hovering over the weapons. There the stock Springfield M1855 shows lower accuracy than the Mississippi. For example at long range, the M1855 shows 30% vs the Mississippi at 47%. the basic question is whether I should equip my early campaign troops with the Springfield vs the Mississippi if I have sufficient of either. I getting the idea it should be the Springfield, and I'm starting to field units of the same strength with the two different weapons to see how it plays out in actual battles.

pandakraut, I know this is an old thread, but it seems the right one to find the answer I am looking for. Specfically, does the higher fire rate of the Springfield M1855 make up for the its decreased accuracy as compared to a weapon with a lower fire rate, lesser damage, but higher accuracy. For example, how does the Spring M1855 compare with the Mississippi rifle? The springfield shoots faster with more damage, but with with less accuracy as compared to the Mississippi Rifle. this is one thing I can't seem to find any where, as the damage curves etc don't include damage/time.

Are the perks for a general applicable only inside their command radius, or all across all units in their Corps?
