Dutch vs Ottos (TAD)

Brainstorming thread to help Chrisdeleu (aka Tyler).
I'm not very used to dutch but my biggest problem against them when I played otto were massed skirms with some hus. I'd start with a rax and get skirms for the jans, while shipping 8 pike if you scout cav. The abus guns don't have a lot of ranged resistance, so you can try to kill them with the help of tc fire while hit n running them by abusing the extra range that skirms have.
If you manage to get to age 3, ruyters will do a great job. Get colonial militia in your deck since you will be under siege very often, improved buildings card may also come in handy.
What do the other dutch masters Jerom and MasterDragoon think of this matchup?
Right now I have a huge problem with the match Dutch vs Otto.
Its just so difficult to beat the ottoman, because they always go 10 jani - abus - cav and Im just not able to held them off my city, even when i turtle pretty hard.
