Re: Leader abuilities
Just my guess but experience is the most important factor. I don't bother ever looking at Inf Art & Arm ratings as I think the changes are subtle.
However Leader ratings are based on their major use Inf, Art or Arm so in a campaign don't switch units to a different unit type.
i.e. Mortar to a squad would retain good Art & poor Inf skills.
They may factor as more chance of a "critical hit" or slightly increased damage.
Taking artillery
Experience controls lead time & the ability of off map units to counter battery fire, if very high also ROF so gains extra shot(s)
70 exp CBF a lot less than 80 exp as a general rule so reserve your long range best exp off map unit for CB fire.
Higher Art rating as far as I know means there is a very slight chance the fire may be more effective. Hi Art rating for the spotter may mean better grouping if it has eyes on the target.
May be wrong but seem to remember this from somewhere years back. I certainly don't bother looking at the ratings apart from on the odd occasion experience for off board arty.
Or very rarely if I am moving adjacent to the enemy or searching for him I may try to use the best exp unit.
