The best.

>>1094953
How effective would this thing be in real life?

I really don't know much about late medieval combat, but I suspect that it isn't sloped enough to make a blow from above glance away. The massive slit also looks like a prime target for a thrust.

At least samurai helmets with horns are genuinely historical and are actually aesthetic.

It vaguely resembles armour that could have been worn at foot combat tournaments. For actual field combat it would likely be too heavy, offer too poor visibility and not be mobile enough though.

what do you know about barbutes? when and where were they used?

>>1098182

Italy. Mid to late 15th century.

>>1098213
Thanks. I always associate them with D&D and RPGs in general since that's the first place I ever saw them.

>>1098242

They appear and then vanish again. Presumably because having a giant hole forming a perfect channel directly to where your eyes are, isn't so great an idea.

10/10 but seriously what the fuck

>>1098457
hope you're not in for any extended battles in that thing. Although it obviously wouldn't actually prevent breathing, fresh air vs a closed helmet must make a hell of a difference in prolonged wearability.

>>1094981
bretty neat. Great all around protection. Limited peripheral vision though.

>>1094922
pretty based

>>1098631
Yeah and the solution to that is that to tip up the helmet for a second to get some air

>>1098674

and some arrows

>>1098705
bruh all you have to tip up is to your mouth, which is not very high up. Just stop, let your other allies pass by you, bow your head and tip up your helmet. if you still get hit by some arrows then you just have bad luck and your enemy must be very accurate.

>>1094973
Not sure about the helmet specifically, but it seems like the chest would just slope blows straight into the crevasses (which is also the main complaint about boob-plate armours)

honest mistake, gap was probably more prominent before being in the ground

To show off the craftsmans talent (they are just like real examples of medieval glasses only in metal) and therefore Maximilian's excellent taste. Up close you can see that they even engraved stubble on its chin.
