which Infantry option is best to choose for the 3rd star*?

[scorehouse]

finally got 2 Infantry units to attain the third Star*. headed into Chickamauga. 4 the remaining battles, which * is best, the Elite or the Sharpshooter? or one applied to each fitted with a particular weapon for maximization. currently the units are armed with Richmond CS's but can easily switch out for any other weapon. thanks.

The only benefit between the two you can't get from grinding stats is +spotting, but infantry doesn't really care about that stat since skirmishers or cav are so much better at it.

Unless your unit is very low on efficiency, it's probably better to take elite so that it is easier to add recruits to the unit and maintain 3*.

In my opinion neither perk is very good and I'll let most of my infantry stay around 2*.
