Yes, outclassed by Light Chem Tanks. Chem Troopers have slightly higher Bravery and better Defense and Dodge, a Light Chem Tank that has been promoted to Rank 2 (doesn't take long at all in the Boar Badlands) is equal or better in literally every other stat - higher damage, more health PLUS tank armor, better damage resistances, and a second attack option that reduces the odds of getting stranded and unable to attack anything by a bit.

It doesn't matter nearly as much now that you can farm vials from your friends, but when I made the original comment, there really was no good reason to train more than 1 Chem Trooper, and then only for the quest that requires it.
