My soldiers do tho
Made a few practice runs with level 5 Japanese soldiers, no speed/stamina buffs, and you’re proven right - I did not know it.
First I checked how long they can charge, then put there a sandbag and measured the different setups until they reach the sandbag. They reached the target in this amount of seconds (measured with stopper, not precise - and of course, smaller value is better):
sprint charge
knife 10.3 ---
bayonet 10.3 9
swordpistol 10.3 9
axe 10.3 9
shin gunto 8.8 7.7
katana 8.8 7.7
run sprint charge
knife 13.8 10.3 ---
LMG 13.8 11.6 ---
AT rifle 15.5 --- ---

Yeah they do but my soldiers has run speed and stamina so it helps with my axe when sprinting normlly or charging 
I think this is probably to do with Baynet “reach” being awful. Also it feels like its directional…only focus’s forward horizontally.
I hope at some point, Bayonets reach gets expanded, and the direction attacks fixed. Also the charging getting cancelled the moment you start it (using all stamina) is very annoying

Its a bit annoying, but the worst part about bayonets is the dumb little circling dances you do when your both suffering skill issue, I mean as much as I would like a mount and blade melee system, I know we will never get it so just something to help in those moments like better rotation or something.

I want to make a few things clear.
First of all, the swords are really cool rewards and usually most players would be happy to get them. The side rewards of the event are a total of 90x appearance orders and 15000 silver, these are also good rewards. So are the playerbase behaving like spoiled children?
No, not at all.
Last year swords were rewarded in events multiple times -5 swords just in the birthday event alone- so the demand for them right now is low.

The battle pass shop that is universally loved by all of the playerbase is going to be closed, even though none of us wants it to close!
For all players, this is the last chance to pick up the BP weapons/vehicles/soldiers they want and there are lots of them, especially now since every BP item is back in the shop.
However for the past 4 months players couldn’t get a single gold order from the battle pass or events, even though there were multiple large scale events. It’s simple supply and demand really.
The demand for more GOs is higher than it has ever been so the players expected a final event before the closure of the BP shop with its rewards being nothing but gold orders.
For the past weeks we have been yapping about nothing else but gold orders so the event not containing a single gold order suggests to the player base that our voice either does not reach the developers or the devs ignore everything we say.
you dont even need to speak English to understand this one:

Apparently they heard our desires but just don’t care. Artificial shortage of high demand item hits different I guess
There is also the issue of discrimination against the Japanese. The Japanese techtree is the worst in the game. Semi-automatic rifles on BR III Type Otsu are a joke on this BR. The new BP was supposed to give rifles on BR IV, but after community intervention they changed it to BR III. Winchester 1907 and Meunier A6 have BR III from the beginning. Now they refuse to give us GO, and I finally want to have good semi-auto rifles on BR III, so I can’t buy Type Hei 10
Ps. The Japanese Garand Type 4 (BR IV) is an analogue of the Gewehr 41 (BR III)

It’s only bayonets that have that problem
It turned out not to be them

I need more than four federovs. Her bullet count appeals to me, and second, I can use her as an Italian Breda CR
Well that would be a little too specific to be on the roadmap!
That being said, this issue often arises because players aren’t aiming “down” enough at the soldier downed with a bayonet. Happens to all of us. If you watch in 3rd person (via a replay for example), you’ll see your character simply missing the target, and it looks quite funny. 
Though, it is perhaps something we can add to feedback to make “easier”, since for as long as I can remember, this has always been a bit of a challenge, and it often takes 2-3 attempts before landing a melee attack on a downed soldier.

I hope this image being used here means the disgusting idea of an “event” where the Soviets magically appear on Guadalcanal is cancelled and deleted forever

That would only be to test the possibility of later fronts, if soviets Vs Japan does come to the game permanently we’ll revive a appropriate theater of war.

What is there to test?
You can launch a custom game right now and test it.

I suppose they want measurable results, usually they collect data for event participation, it would be hard to get valid data that represents the whole community through informal custom games.
Leaks were wrong …
Just had a blast today playing my BR II Japan lineup which is all bare bones armed with bolt actions. Had several wins in a row, just a few hard matches and couple easy ones. What’s interesting is that I saw a lot of enemy players going for sniper squads, which most of them are easily wiped out in CQC (specially in Myansera map), they don’t cap points and were probably the biggest detriment to their team’s effort trying to win. Which made the victory for my team overall easier. However I did had one game in where I ended up in the same situation, when my team decided to play sniper squads without capping and we ended up loosing by failing to cap the last point.
So moral of the story is, don’t forget to cap the point, kids. Don’t camp too much if your team is the one attacking. And don’t relie on snipers too much if you want to actually win.
