Pole Axe, Bill hook, or Halberd?

[Agrippa43]

So in the screen shots of 1444 armies I see the unit soldier holding some sort of Pole Arm. But what kind is it?

It looks like either a poleaxe or a halberd, I'm not really sure what the difference is between the two to be honest.

I think pole axe is a category in which halberds belong, I think Billhooks go with pikes.

A pike is, in its fundamentals, just a very long spear designed to be braced or thrust. A military bill is designed to be swung.

Well, from what I understood pole axes, pikes and halberds are 3 differents big categories.

You swing a pole axe, you thrust with a pike and you can do both (and even more) with a halberd.
