Ofcourse, in other people's campaigns it might differ.About armor in campaigns using firearms: always remember than in a typical D&D world, soldiers will occasionally come across monstrous opponents, many of which are uncapable of using firearms but more than capable of clawing/stinging/biting etc a soldier with melee attacks. Many of these critters might even be employed by certain armies. So armor has some relevance, though a good compromise (atleast in my campaign) is equipping the troops with light armor (Imperial troops, considered to be "heavy" troops, use chain-shirts, most armies use Padded, Leather or Studded Leather armors). Anything heavier than Chain Shirt would be reserved for troops specializing in melee combat, particularly against monsters (especially undead/demons), and many fighters would go the Dexterity route rather than the Strength one.</blockquote>
