have you noticed the western peasants. they have two or three different kinds of pitchforks.

i think this would not be so much of an issue if pikemen would be allowed to spread formation like you could in rome. in rome i could take them out of spearwall hit spread formation then reactivate spearwall. then i could enmesh my missile units within them and retain a high volume of fire.

if this could be done in mtw2 it would make musketeers and other flatter shooting projectile troops more effective while being enmeshed with pikemen. also if all infantry units marched at same speed it would be easier to mix units together.
