Just try using
1. Austrian line inf as a meat shield for more powerful units e.g. grenadiers (lets the throw grenades with out being shot at) or grenzers (because otherwise they're lower range gives them a difficulty in skirmishes), this way they will take lots of casualties and get more experience.
2. Use them as reserves to support your light infs, repulse cav charges and fill, holes in your line and then use them for a final push.
3. Use smaller unit settings this lets them deploy in longer lines than other nationality's, and means they can use the full numerical advantage, they can have more muskets pointing at other line inf units.
Other than these you can just try another campaign, only fight the Russians and Ottomans(because their line sucks as well)or just use tactics to get the upper hand.
Hope this helps =)
