Usefulness of musketeers in M2TW

[edyzmedieval]

For quite a while I wondered how useful musketeers/arquebusiers are in M2TW - I did win a Spanish campaign in M2TW, albeit with some help, and in the last few phases of the campaign I used quite a lot of musketeers and tercios to back them up. Alongside cannons whenever I had the chance.

But I never managed to pit them effectively against other armoured units. Against unarmoured Aztecs they were a real threat, against armoured knights not so much. The only time where I used musketeers effectively was in the historical Battle of Pavia, where musketeers and landsknechts formed a real compact group together and a very efficient one too.

So - musketeers in M2TW - how useful are they exactly?
