In several games now I have had muskets firing in the rain. At first, seeing it was raining, I grouped them in my rear guard, but noticed the indicator didn't have that dreaded x! So I moved them on up and used them. The only thing is that the rate of fire is incredibly slow. I was thinking it was lag from the rain, but now I think it is just harder to load them in the rain!
I love how we are second guessing the developers all the time! Did they mean this? Did they plan that? Did they think of yadayada?
Well I bet they love it too!
Anyway!
The fact is that they work in the rain now!
Be ready!
