Add Bayonets

Suggestions

I love the realism in this game - the artillery strikes (90% of WWII casualties were from artillery, air bombing and explosives in general), the realistic reloads (which is just so nice and absent in most other games) and such. One thing that is lacking, though, even if it is shown in the game artwork, are bayonets.

Adding bayonets to the game would make rifles (especially bolt-actions) much more useful. For instance, it’s currently very hard to assault a building using a bolt-action rifle. Having bayonets on them would make it actually more feasible and, I think, make the game even more balanced.

Plus bayonets are a very fun weapon to use, as seen in other games, and some people would very much enjoy charging enemies with them. It would be awesome gameplay to take on enemies and positions by charging them with a bayonet. Imagine a whole rifle squad doing it… It would be awesome.

I don’t know how they could be implemented in the game, maybe in the inventory spot of knifes, but they would be an awesome addition.

Also, just notifying that I’m a South American player. I see a lot of South American names playing in the NA server. And while the 160 ping isn’t a game-breaker, it would be nice to have a SA server eventually. Anyhow, thanks for reading.

realistic reloads

You mean like taking the G43 mag out and slapping it back in again?

it would be nice if they added them for the allies to be honest lee enfeild,m1 carbine,m1 grand and couple of others

iv got close to 16 axes :sweat_smile: lol you eventually get there if you use enough bronze weapon orders on random weapon acquisitions im like 200+ deep

I also like the idea of bayonets. Currently melee strikes with the butt stock are slow and don’t do much damage. I think bayonets should be an option, that you can either toggle in the soldiers’ loadout menu, or during the game by pressing a button.

bayonets are already in the game though

I’d love more bayonets. Anyone played the original red orchestra here? That feeling when you controlled a lowly trooper who had to storm a building, knowing very well you’d probably get shredded by a ppsh/stg44, but heh, orders are orders, slowly attached the bayonet, pressed the button to crank your melee strike (wich made the character screams out his lungs in his glorious charge to the death) then rushed in. Yes… more bayonets!

Yeah, in the Berlin campaign. What about the rest of the game?

16

nothing yet, which i do hope changes but the funny thing is OP’s post is about just adding bayonets in general

Bayonets (those implemented already) feel wonky a bit, though. They have AS MUCH range as the… knife?! So when you use a bayonet against a knife wielding rambo ninja, you usualy lose because the bloke stabs faster like frenzy :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
