It’s not important that Pioneers are ineffective at destroying vehicles because their role in this group is to clear infantry from buildings, repair the Half-track, and attack infantry that try to rush the Panzergrenadiers or Half-track.

Now, consider a group of units that consists of a Panzergrenadier squad with Panzerschrecks, a Pioneer squad with a Flamethrower, and a Half-track to carry them both. It can acquire an LMG42 upgrade to increase its effectiveness against infantry so long as it remains stationary, which allows it to excel at its main role but provides no increased flexibility, and incentivizes you to use it more defensively. Its Rifle Grenade can be useful against Snipers and HMGs if it manages a good hit, but it’s not something to rely upon. A Grenadier squad suffers against Snipers, it is shut down by HMGs, it has limited effectiveness against vehicles, with its Panzerfaust primarily disabling rather than destroying them. It can beat Engineers one-on-one, it can beat Conscripts at long range, it can beat Mortars and AT guns. You can analyze a Grenadier squad as an independent unit.
