As a person who plays bohemians every day I have to say that hussite wagons is the unit I have used the least and that they are pretty weak.
I have very probably made more houfnices than hussite wagons.
Much weaker, slower than a korean war wagon, while also more expensive- and this is just the castle age stats. In imp it’s not even a contest which one is better.
They are only useful to scare off archers and even then, you need a castle, they don’t deal any damage whatsoever, are countered by mangonels pretty hard, as well as any melee unit.
I’d rather use skirmishers to counter archer units in the castle age, and houfnices in imperial. And the shielding ability is even more situational than tatar 50% hill bonus damage, on par with magyars killing wolves with one strike.
Trash busters is what they are, like a siege ram that deals a bit of damage and moves faster.
Bohemians are perfectly balanced across all maps, even on the weaker side on open maps, and on closed maps it’s not the hussite wagons that make them stand out- it’s the monks and the houfnices, as intended.
