They loose against Hussars? In my experience they absolutely wipe the floor with an equal amount of Hussars or Ulans trying to rush me in Colonial Age, they are excellent tanks against other heavy infantry as well (while the Yumis drag their HP down). All thanks to their awesome melee resistance. Later when everyone has artillery I prefer Naginatas for my front line though, except for cavalry spams (Ashigarus can't be effectively flanked when you stack their melee upgrades BUT they are still a little bit too flimsy to attack for example a Cuirassier head on without support).
