ok, here's the skinny about muskets, not arq's...we didnt test those.

yuuki and i both took 1 unit of muskets into a game online. we picked a day where the rain goes from no rain to full blown gale. i took a H9 W3 A3 unit and he took an H2 unit with no mods.

we faced off at about equal heights, no castles or any other obstructions and had at it. with no rain coming down, the reload rate is normal and accuracy is normal. as rain increases in strength, RELOAD rates go down and accuracy drops as well. the harder it rains, the slower the RELOAD rate and accuracy. so, muskets are still relatively worthless in rain, except as doorstops.

as for castles and firing into and out of them. it's always been true that guns can fire from behind castle walls and that guns cant always fire into castles. normally, the reason you cant fire into a castle with guns is due to height and line of sight. also bear in mind that most castles sit up a bit higher than the surrounding terrain so guns in castles also get a range advantage due to the height. they really did do a pretty good job with this. it's not bugged that i can tell.

we havent tested the firing through friendlies thing with guns yet, so i dont know about that one.
