Advantages/disadvantages of scale/lamellar vs plate?

>>3385396

More gaps.

Surface less likely to defect blows off the armor.

>>3385396
Scale and lamellar can be weak to thrusts coming from the side to which they point. Sorry this would be easier to explain in my language...
Like, if the scales POINT downwards an upward thrust could more easily get in under a scale, and if it is one thing horsemen get a lot of it is stabs from below

Scale and lamellar are exclusively to their own abilities.

Scale is bound four by one, onto each like much like chainmail. It was used early as the late Egyptian dynasties and went under progressive development in materials and cord strength until the Polish stopped we wuzzing. The Problem with early scale is that thrusts from the underside was quite effective on cutting the cords and creating large gaps. It was also less likely to disperse energy when struck upon, much like chainmail.

Lamellar is extremely old as well. There have been several archaeological finds from late Sumer graves. Lamellar differentiates from scale from the fact that lamellar has no gaps from below. It is also extremely resistant to arrows and can disperse energy much better than Mail or lamellar due its ability to hold a rigid concave shape.

The problem with cord bound armour is that they are prone to getting soaked and become extremely heavy. It is also the cause for lice infestation in cord heavy armours like the Yoroi Armour. You can fix this problem by backing the plates with a leather canvas.

One great advantages of lamellar over scale is that it' can be worn over chainmail or heavy canvas armour. The problem is that you would be literally boiling in the heat, especially if you were a late Byzantine cataphract.

It's because the Polish larpers thought they were sarmatians. But that just makes Eastern European armour all the better in my opinion. It's like a good fusion cuisine.

That's the German inferiority complex for you. They can't stand, that someone is doing better than them. In all matters.
>>3385562
Those armours are inferior to plate in all aspects. Though, being /fa/ is arguable one.

>>3386350
how do you spell it in english/german? "karatzena" ?

Prior to the Mongol invasion of 1241 A.D., (and later attacks) the Poles looked no different then Western Europeans (indeed, the same applied all the way into Muscovy) and used the same weapons, armor and tactics but after getting their ass handed to them by the Mongols, they gradually adopted Eastern styles and practices better suited to the conditions and their opponents, while Western European knights got heavier and heavier.

Now this isn’t to say that Poles didn’t also have heavily armored knights in full-plate but they also specifically developed light armored horse archers and lancers, copied from their Tatar/Turk enemies.

The cultural concept of "we wuz Sarmatians!" came later, after they had already adopted Eastern tactics.

Mail is always my favorite. Plain yet the most effective armor throughout history

I'd argue ease of maintenance would be an advantage of Scale/Lamellar over plate. It's a lot cheaper to replace a damaged scale than it is an entire plate.

>>3385835
Helmets with chainmail veils give me a boner.

Eastern European armors are so sexy.
