Just to further back up how absurd it is that bayonets are NEVER seen on FH2, this is 5 mins searching 'tobruk' & 'el alamein'

I realize about propoganda but come on = please give us men constantly equipped with the almighty spear rifle

Sorry if I'm wrong (I don't get the chance to play PR much) on WW2 maps on PR don't soldiers have backpacks/satchels/water bottles/gear/kit on their backs?

As in, don't they have way more stuff than the soldiers in FH2 carry?


Is there a reason we don't have the same?

A map like Tunis is a prime example where this isn't important as nobody has grenade launchers.

Also kits like recon/engineer could always have bayonets on in close quarter maps (over knife/spade etc that they normally have because they would still have been ordered to put bayonets on).

The 3 second delay of attaching the damn thing

EXACTLY


But also for making battles look more realistic

Saying Cole's Charge and Stalingrad I don't think you realise how often British soldiers went into battle with bayonets attached before they even saw the enemy.

Christ they still do it now sometimes.

It's not just for practical reasons either (stabbing people) it also increases the moral of the troops who are wielding them. No doubt it's also more scary to be fighting against.


There really are so many maps where it should be standard. I don't know why anyone would be against the idea.

On some maps the infantry should have bayonets attached at all times.

Many of the siege/close combat maps the soldiers would have been ordered to fix bayonets long before the attack began.

I think it is an iconic view of WW2 combat of bayonets still being used. Yet in FH2 we never see them other than those VERY few times that you run out of ammo at close range and decide to try and stab your opponent.

Giarabub/Fall of Tobruk/Bardia/Tunis/Port En Bessin/etc.

And the argument that bayonets affect accuracy can be swayed on siege maps and smaller maps because the combat distances are shorter.

It would make a lot of sense on the maps where you have multiple weapon/class choices for the same kit (such as Ramelle) to have one with bayonet at the ready.

It looks AWESOME on Red Orchestra 2. FH2 can easily do the same!

No trace. Either walked off and was found, or just kept walking til the sun took him.
