Sturmpioneers, Rear Echlon Troops, Combat engineers are all having combat performance adjusted through vet or damage profile changes.
Wher Pioneers seem the odd man out and they are also the worst off. They are getting bonuses from sweepers, but it is incredibly hard to do anything in combat after early game.
They are cqb only more effective than say soviet engineers at range < 14. However they cost 25 manpower to reinforce so when you try to use them in combat and vet up you usually pay a heavy manpower cost to do so. You rarely see any pios get vet 2 outside of an initial squad who purchases a flamethrower.
