Will cavalry become obsolete in hardmode?

[Pandabomber]

With everyone and their mother having a throwing weapon or some kind of ranged weapon on hard mode (I've only seen the first wave), there should be some kind of change. Anything short of a Charger cannot take hits at all. Even just doing a hit and run with couching is risky when throwing axes are being hurled at your face with amazing accuracy.

Of course, it's going to take some time to pull enough data together with testing. Hard mode seems over-tuned even for the commandos and snipers.
