So far, whistling shot and fire arrow combo works well for me playing as Huns. I'd have squads of 5 HA's skirmishing. 3 would use regular arrows, 1 flaming shot, 1 whistling arrow. The specialist shots on the right flank so they minimally affect the others. Most stack vs stack battles on legendary end up with me losing a few guys versus total annihilation on the other side.
On a Hun related note here is
A tip for Huns
Upon starting the campaign you're not at war with WRE. Ask them to join their wars in exchange for cash. Hell, join all their wars for a few turns. All of those are far from your starting position anyway. The key is: every extra war you have boosts the integrity of your stacks. So, you can end up with +20 or so integrity per turn just from remote Roman wars.
Once you are ransacking WRE, all those enemies of yours will start loving you and before you know it they'll pay cash for truce agreements.
