You are the one ranting (and showing your own bias).
CE as very close to Conscripts in combat stat per entity. There are simply not "terrible/horrible" as you claim.
They certainly more cost efficient than pioneer/Ro.E. in early combat and they can be supported by merge.
The fact that you resort in (false) personal comments is a very strong indication that you lack arguments to back up your claims so I will not even bother to respond to them.
When are you planning on addressing the topic? Sweeper pios and sweeper CEs struggle to gain vet
Compared to western engineers, which can equip sweepers with other weapons/stow away their sweeper, the limits of EFA sweeper engineers are outdated and should be addressed. Repair speed bonus was a nice addition, they should get a little more tho imo
If we can't do Vet for engineering tasks, something else should be done. Shared veterancy after a certain tier unlock could work
