Well I guess that has something to do with that a musket does 255 damage.

I was trying to join the British and come across a severely outnumbered British castle under attack from the French, I was on good enough terms with the British to jump in, I only added 30 or so men to the battle, it was a small castle, and playing at a really high battle size I decide that at the walls we're heavily outgunned by their number advantage.

Having command of all men in the castle for some reason, I decide to pull them all onto the castle ground and line them up down there, hoping that this will undo their numerical advantage seeing as they will have to run up the castle wall in a line and into a barrage of gunfire, it worked for a good while, the remaining 70 or so British managed to knock off a good 200 before succumbing, not a successful battle at all, but I was surprised that this worked as well as it did.

i managed to concour a russian castle when outnumberd with my swedish lord.

i had cinda small battlesize cuse it will lag/crash if i don't so i only had about 5soldiers at the time and the enemy 15.

it was a seige with seige tower so that was good for me, i orderd my troops to hold fire so they culd focus pushing the tower.
when the tower reached the wall i orderd my troops to follow me and i told them to form a line on hte bridge between the tower and the wall.
and so i orderd my men to fire and the russians died with every shoot they made, when my troops ran out of ammo i orderd them to charge with bayonets and die.
when my reinforcements came i just started all over again ordering them to form a line and fire.

all this would never have worked if the enemy garison wouldn't have been 90% kossacks thet culd not fire back on my troops, all the enemy musketers i sniped with my flintlock rifle 
this tactic is realy good you shuld try it out.

Helped some random British/Swadian Lord with another lord versus the Tsar and 2 other Russian/Rhodok lords.

We were outnumbered by about 50-100 men, but due to the absolute refusal of the AI to help me, my 61 Brunswickers and I were stuck 40 feet infront of the main British line and the Tsar threw everything at us. My companions dismounted and acted as line inf. I got bored after using up most of my pistol ammo so I rode up to a British lord and shot him in the head. I then got 3 horses shot under me. (I got my companions' horses and the horse of the unconscious British lord.)

 We formed a makeshift square after taking loads of casualties (I didn't do anything: the troops just bunched together).  Then FINALLY the rest of the British army charged. The Russians lost most of their people, my allies around 10-20 dead, and I had around 35 killed and 21 wounded. We won but the Tsar and the rest of the Russian lords ran away.

you're not talking about Tirh are you? (cant remember what its called in this mod)  it is the easiest city to capture; in native, all the mods ive played, and especially in this one.

all you need is high archery and a good bow (native/most other mods) or a flintlock rifle and high firearms skill (Age of Blackpowder).  i usually join whoever is at war with the nords, or whatever the name of the faction that currently controls tihr.  i order all of my troops to hold position at the foot of the outer wall, out of the line of sight of enemy archers/riflemen, then i stand on the ladder that goes to the top of the outer wall, and with my head just showing enough to see the enemies on the inner wall, i take out my bow/rifle, and pick them off one by one, starting with riflemen/crossbowmen, then musketmen/archers, throwing infantry, and finally when anyone capable of hurting me from a distance is dead, i can go up the ladder, to the inner wall, and stand 10 feet away and shoot them in the head! 

when sniping, you also want to be aware, that the hand rail on the catwalk in the outer wall will stop most incoming enemy arrows/bolts/bullets, but it will also stop yours!  so be attentive to the position of the handrail to your own angle of fire.  also, make sure you have as much head armour as you can afford, since almost all of the damage you take will be to your head.  a helmet with high armour, and armour that also provides head armour are a good idea.  you should also exchange your melee weapon for extra ammo, since you wont be fighting hand to hand.

they are really good are they... I spent hours of showing them to all of my friends

and about the austrians. You should think like this.. 3 Austrians = 1-2 Normal Soldiers.
Cause they are not as tough but they are easier recuited.
