As for redcoats regarding better training indeed they were disciplined and trained the tricky bit is which janissaries of era?

Military Prowess: 14th and 15th Century

Praetorian Status:Mid 16th, 17th, 18th and 19 Century.

As for training remains debatable it is true that redcoats are up-to-date training: Square-formation, Rank Fire etc.. but the janissaries particulary in 1597 or 1605 they had also perfected their volley fire into a rotational rank fire which puts them on equal footing. Markmanship both have exceptional accuracy but Janissaries wins due to their professional accuracy however what fails them in the fight between the two is weaponry technological advances from redcoats.

Who would put such bad equipments in Janissaries vs Landsknecht. Indeed Lands have better armor due to half-plate armor but Nthril Nefer (Armored Janissaries) wearing sipahi armor can provide decent protection as for janissary axe I would replace them with Long-shafted Hooked-blade halberds. Halberds are better against armors, pike is best when used as formation since it really is a loong stabbing weapon (Use less once you get past it). In marksmanship Janissaries are certinely better but lost due to Abus gun.....seriously (Who put that there when you could have done Arqebus vs Arqebus). Regarding experience concerning janissaries really depending in what century they belong, but universally (Not counting those who don't know how to fight) Janissaries are experienced soldiers fighting all front-lines against pikes, Austrian Jaeger, cavs etc...
