A stone age horseman (HC) should NOT easily defeat a WWII halftrack (LC) in one-on-one combat and yet fail to kill a single swordman (HI). I agree they should have kept the combat bonuses for different troop types, but they effectively reduced the combat effectiveness against other troops to zero.
A stone age horseman can kill a halftrack? Sweet, that means there will no point in advancing through all the ages!

Anyway, I've never seen that happen
