It's about the speed not the weight.

You get 3 different main grades of body plate

The first 2 will do jack shit

@Storin no shit

the dude's helmet just has the visor removed

exactly

thats cheating

the breathing problems associated with a helmet

If you don't have the class III or whatever it is called you aint wearing body armour tbh <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

along with its vision problems

I'm talking about real IIIA level plate.

are integral to understanding the difficulties of wearing armour

Now important destination here is regular plate armour for combat and Tourney Armour for jousting. That's actually super heavy shit designed to hunker you down to your horse's back with has much weight as possible so you dont fall from the lance strike @SkeF

tbh running in CFO with a respirator on is probably the hardest thing I ever did tbh <:shrug:349342983763656705>

You can not breathe for shit

it's an obstacle course

@SideTracker and then your horse breaks a leg and you die if it gets even slightly knocked off blance

There was a knight who did his exercises in his armour and one of them was monkeybar climbing a ladder leaning against a tree from underneath

@Lucienne d'Anwyl that's why they where special breeds of work horse

There’s a video of someone doing it but I wouldn’t be able to find it now

But it wasnt perfect

i think youd get arrested

When they show blokes sprinting about in videogames i'm just like bollocks <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

running outside wearing one of those

also the point of having a raisable visor is so you can raise it if you cant see or breathe

That tube there is how you take on water tbh

Or he's just seen as a germaphobe

Well at least I wasn’t lied to about sword strikes being damn near worthless against plate

You unhook it and put it onto your water bottle

you have it down if you are getting shot with arrows

@SkeF everything depends on where its aimed

armour is weak at the joints and weak at the back

and not great against hammers

bro

Nothing works against plate tbh

@SkeF yes youd usually perfer blunt weapons like maces hammers and halberds to dent it in like a can opener

a harhammer works pretty well against plate

the hammer would break your neck before it broke the helmet

You’re better off just using mordhau

And if its bluesteel plate nothing gets through except modern day bullets
