How long to became good with the engine?

When i started with ue, i had almost zero knowledge about game dev.
After 1,5 years, learning blueprints,3d modeling, a bit c++, i can do full but trash game. Im learning ~4 hrs/day.
Blueprints are pretty easy, i “mastered” blueprints in 3 months (like i can do any behavior with it), multiplayer cost me additional 3 months to understand how it works.
But c++, i spent like 200 hours learning cpp but i know still nothing. I understand basics and can do little in ue c++ but i think i need next 2 years of learning c++ to be able to do full c++ game and understand/modify engine code.
I think i will need total of 3 to 5 years to be confident with ue4 as i started from zero (im learning 3d modeling and texturing too along with programming)
