The dadao should be a default issue for Chinese troops just like the Fairbairn‑Sykes fighting knife. A conservative estimate puts dadao production at between 100,000 and several hundred thousand. That’s more than some weapons on the tech tree. Issuing them would boost player appeal; after all, some Chinese gold squads really aren’t worth their price.

The addition of bayonets is tied to specific weapon models, rather than the nationality of the soldier. In theory, one could devise something like a secondary, hidden class that, in addition to the standard selection of melee weapons, could also be equipped with Chinese swords—which would themselves constitute a separate category. However, I believe that China deserves to be its own distinct faction.
Well, I mean we already have the Type 88 rifle in game as a TT weapon. We also have a few Chinese premium and event squads, and we have the SIG 1920, M1921 Thompson, PPD, KE7 and the ZB vz. 26, all of which were used by the Chinese. There’s also the BT-5, T-26, M3 Stuart, and Sherman which could all be used as TT tanks for China too. We also have the Mosins and Kar98s and Vz, which could be used too.
And realistically since China pretty much used any weapon from anyone they could get their hands on (they had Mosins, M1 Carbines, Carcanos, Lee Enfields, Arisakas and of course Mauser rifles, although only the Type 88 and Mausers were the standard issue rifles), we could just take any random combination of vehicles, infantry weapons and planes (maybe not any old combination, but you get my point). Or better yet, we can add a few more unique weapons and vehicles to the game as well as some reused weapons to fill up their tree.
Agree. Guess that’s their faction identity. Shame there’s no Chinese faction
Btw, the caption on the image reads “a Dadao used by the Chinese Expeditionary Force.”
