Longbow and chukonus might loss to paladins they are not invencible.

Longbows and chukos can kill paladins pretty well, GC can do it to, but they still need to outnumber them.

The time that takes to train Genovese Crossbowmen
So, right now a GC takes 22s in castle age to be trained from a castle (650stone and 200seconds to build). All other UU archers takes from 16s to 18s to be created, other UU too takes less than a GC needs (like organ guns or war wagons).
Now let’s compare it with some normal units TT:
A xbow takes 27s to be trained, a knight 30s, both can be trained at a building that cost 175wood and takes 50seconds to be build.
So in a land map, in castle age, it’s safe to assume that by the time you build a castle your enemy has 3 stables (if not more), it means that for 3 knight created by your enemy, you have 1 GC and you are to roughtly a third of the cration of the second, after 2 minutes you have 5 and a half GC vs 12 knights, after 10 it’s 27 GC vs 60 K, this maintaining the 1:3 ratio, since for every castle you build, your enemy can easly respond with 3 stables.
So even if the GC have a strong bonus, they will always be outnumbered, yes you could also go pikes, but you would invest resources in 2 units that couter the same tipe of units (istead of 2 units that complement each other weakness).

But I have never felt that they are doing their job wrong when I am killing those letis.

Never tried vs letis, but Vs knights are a struggle.

I think that these two video can prove my point here about italians on full land and the GC problem (especially the first one).
