Poles Winged Hussar

Am I only that kinda find those Hussars really hard to get going they cost more than Paladins while having 2 major weaknesses to halbs and arrows. While they have better and only option in Late game arbs and obuchs potentially some Cavaliers to mix in. I think Poles Hussars doesn't work. In my dreams Would love if they got both blast furnace and plate barding Armor. One solution to fix them I think is replacement of blast furnace with plate barding armor - which would allow you to still make TOP 5 scout-line unit and in later stage of game you could get Lechitic Legacy.
