In general I would say there is a difference but they have a similar result.

For instance some weapons fire burst of shots then reload - like the Warhorse it will fire 3 shots quickly the there is a pause for reload. So in this case...


 * Increase Fire Rate would make the time in between each of the 3 shots individually shorter
 * Decreased Reload time would make the wait between each group of 3 shots shorter.

For weapons that fire 1 shot at a time there is really no difference in the part they effect. However I would guess they would stack, meaning they would both shorten the same time delay.

For a 1 shot at a time weapon if you have a Increase Fire Rate of 10% and Decreased Load Time of 10% both shortening the time between each single shot by 20% ( approx it depends on the way they do the math ).

The big question is do those two things on the M205 just effect just the firing of the mortar itself or does it also applies to the main gun of the unit its attached. I will try and find out for sure.

I would off hand say yes it dose affect the main weapon also and that is why they did the improvement to both Fire Rate and Reload time because most of the units it can be added to fire in burst followed by reload.

I have no specific knowledge of the actual programing so what I have written about this is pretty much an educated guess.

But like I said I will try and get a firm answer from CM Salaco if I can.
