To add, Onagers and Siege Onagers are typically seen as Siege Ram slayers but they are erratic and even miss a slow moving Ram most of the times. One needs to attck ground and master the micro to deal with a large posse of Rams thrown at you. Thus Onagers are not as effective as the Elite Throwing Axeman. In terms of time spent to destroy 15 Siege Rams and 6 Trebs ( along with a few Knights/Paladins and a mass of Halbs which the hardest AI typically  does) only the Magyar Huszar compares to the ETA but the Magyar Huszar is a melee attack unit and you end up losing a few in the combat. In comparison, 8 ETA can be created at the gold cost of one bombard cannon alone. And the ETA shines overall.
