The elephant units you mentioned are NOT weak against longbows, if anything they're the best cavalry against longbows because they're so incredibly tanky. Cavaliers/Paladins, Light Cavalry, Boyars, and Cataphracts are all pretty bad against massed Elite Longbowmen, they just get gunned down as they approach. Elephant Archers are one of the best counters, taking only 2 damage per arrow from longbows and having 350 HP, and War Elephants just storm through all the arrows like it's nothing, same thing with Battle Elephants.
