Saying it looks 'silly as f**k' to see soldiers with bayonets is like saying it looks silly to see soldiers with ppsh41s in Stalingrad.
In many of the battles on FH2 it looks considerably more 'silly' that NOBODY has bayonets.
When you search 'Tobruk WW2' in the first 5 images I get TWO with soldiers with bayonets:
Of the other 3, one is a map, one is of prisoners and the third is too small to really decipher.
There are dozens of similar images the further you scroll.
I agree most maps shouldn't have them at the ready but others NEED them!
In FH2 bayonets are like unicorns. People know the myth, but nobody can be sure they've actually seen one!
