Fighting with bayonets

Who can me tell? When my soldiers plug bayonets - they have any bonus for melee_attack or not? Or they have charge bonus only

? In game soldiers with bayonets vs soldier without bayonets - fight as equals...

Bayonet equipped soldiers have a melee bonus, unless I'm very much mistaken.

What difficulty are you playing? If VH, the problem could be the fact that the enemy gets insane stat boosts; in that case, it wouldn't surprise me if non-bayonet AI units are a match for your Bayonet equipped units.

Otherwise, I don't know.

The plug bayonets give a melee attack bonus when fixed, not just a charge bonus. Unless I'm very much mistaken, the bonus is +2.

Bonus is for charge and melee when equipped.This carries over once you have ring and socket, although there is a known issue with ring at the moment.

On H and VH difficulties the computer assigns morale and damage bonuses for its units
