Whoaaa how can you even be comparing jans to pikes. Pikes die in 2 shots to abus, jans in like 8 to the dutch skirms, have higher hp and are more useful vs everything else..
doppel, in colonial, abus do not do worse than skirms vs cav or the difference is minimal. Skirms die like flies to hussars in second age, so badly you can't afford to mass them alone. They fall as fast as xbows, do less damage and are considerably more expensive. That and the only anticav unit dutch has in colonial (pike) really does suck balls vs otto.
When you have fortress skirms and colonial abus however it all changes.. i think that's what your thinking of. Ulti is right imo.

lol I'm speaking from experience here...
Protecting abus from cav is damn hard, and btw why does it matter how fast jans die to skirms? You think because the dutch goes hussar/skir vs the otto jan/abus? Hell no, pure skirms beats it np!

For example, 3 hussars. In case, when the abus is completely unguarded.

Yep your right, I didn't account for the abus penalty vs cav. My bad. 10 abus still beat 3 huss, you can still kill 1 huss before the huss engage u.
And a noob comment? I forgot about a penalty therefore the math came out wrong...
