They are slow and weak to anything with range except skirs and mamelukes, but used in the right way it is one of the best if not best army compositions. For example in late imperial team games. Try to beat a fortification on a hill with teutonic knights with mass siege, bbt and castles. Few civs can counter this. Just guard the siege well with teutonic knights and no melee unit will do anything. The samurai and jaguar is very vurnable to scorps and onagers. War elephants with siege stand a chance, but elephants are not that cost effective since you you can make 2 tks and even a halb for same resources. In small rm style castle age situations with a lot of micro they suck that is true, but in hige chaotic post imp dm style battles they are a gamechanger. A cool trick is to make paladins first and when ur enemy makes halbs or camels, bring in the tk. It is ridiculous how many units in the game only do 1 damage to these thanks. But on open situations dont rely on that slow tk+siege combo too much or a smart player will outraid your flanks.
