Not sure the stats, but this unit is probably the weakest infantry unit. More likely worse than soviet combat engineers, and at least Ost Pioneers do fairly well in close combat (Plus that sight bonus) Which means in early games against OKW, you're going to be looking at 2 Riflemen Squads + 1 RE squad vs 1 Sturmpioneer squad + 2 Volk squads (or 2 sturmpio + 1 volk). On paper, I don't see how the USF is expected to win in this scenario. When trying to secure an important VP or resource point, the OKW player can just throw him his entire force in the beginning of the game and you're always going to lose because the RE squad handicaps the USF troops.
I think these engineers need some kind of buff. Nothing crazy, but at least to the point they're no longer a handicap for the early game.
