the helmet still helps you
because most niggers with hammers
wont always have perfect accuracy
yeah the internet seems to be of the mind that dedicated-scouts werent really a thing in medieval period
longbowman stood their ground at Agincourt and killed knights up close
and they may have a bad angle and swing somewhat on point
the other thing
just light infantry/cavalry given scout tasks using their same gear seems to me vastly more common
if a hammer has an armour piercing spike
it dont matter how good your armour is
youre getting fucking GANKED
so instead of a perpendicular crunch, its at a 170 degree angle and gets deflected
it does if you parry
yeah most hammers arent actually hammers lol
scouts where mostly light cavalry and skirmishers sent ahead of the army to look around
a parry can mean he glances your head
no helmet means you're dead
@Kealor scouts in european history
and it rhymes too
are mostly savages
like real scouts
usually mercenaries
and savages
okay, you want real scouts?
light cavalry
done
nah
mounted infantry
sent ahead because we don't care about them
<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>
i mean i cant see anything
wouldn't they just tell their light cavalry to do a run around
^
and then come back
i mean when i played M2TW I always used mercenaries like that
granted
mercenaries are way more valuable
than your regular medieval army
in all honesty
scouts are inferior to just having your normal infantry look ahead
