...how about adding a shovel as a melee unlock. You would have to choose bayonet or shovel on the class screen just like you choose which rifle/SMG to use.

No no no, you've got it all wrong. You should be able to mount the shovel in the bayonet lugs of your rifle!Though what are you thinking, have your character magically hit with shovel instead of buttstock/bayonet, or have it appear as an actual weapon, and have to select it first before starting to swing it around?
Sounds cool but realisticly you would not have your field shovel on you while in direct fire combat. Too bulky regardless of the period pics you see. Now if you want to have them laying around to be picked up for use then cool.

And for those worried about "realism": Germans were scared $h*tless of the Russians using their sharpened around edges sapper shovels
HET, a frontovik always carries what he needs to live. A saperka (shovel) is key to survival and would NOT be discarded less you want someone in a blue hat to spot it and give your family a long vacation in siberia.
Give the saperka option to all assault classes.
On a unrealistic but still pretty awesome note, give us the option to run at the nemtsi with a pistol in one hand and saperka in the other, ala brest krepost

Some VERY good shovel action there.
[...]Not exactly the most realistic representation of events.
