The Janissary's huge attack does a much better job of overwhelming the high pierce armour that cavalry tends to get, compared to other archer units. They are much better than regular archers against cavalry. Having said that, they still have the low speed and survivability of archers and will die if the cavalry get too close, while also needing a critical mass to do any damage.

I agree with the current state of the page, Janissaries are neither strong nor weak against cavalry, unlike the vast majority of archers that are clearly weak.
