Depends on what way you're fighting
England in the latter half of the 14th century until plate armour stopped being relevant had the best armour for fighting on foot anywhere.

fuck off bong. english plate is just a hodgepodge of italian and german elements. it's undefined as a style and plate in general was still weak and undefined itself in 1350-1399 or as you said in "latter half of the 14th century" anyway.

Not at all, there is little difference in plate armour up until the 15th century, but English armours were designed for dismounted use primarily, unlike most continental armours. In the 15th century there are unique English and Burgundian styles, not just Southern German and Northern Italian.

Maybe learn to capitalise your words too.

>>32805885
Does anyone else get triggered by the informal use of aesthetic as an adjective?

It's like a red flag for retards.

Note the differing shape from Italian style rounded and German style with a long tail. This particular style is considered to have been used mainly in England, France, and Burgundy (Duchy)

>>32806808
A bit of a moot point as the Italian and German styles barely truly existed before the 15th century. The English style is truly aesthetic, taking the best of both styles, unless you enjoy looking at corrugated iron or is secretly a space marine.

bc you are a fat fuck without a waist. real rmour rests most of the breastplates weight on your hips allowing your neck and shoulder to move mostly unencumbered which is crucial for use of hand held weapons. you breathin into the globose breast cavity.

It's actually ocupied by empty space. If you imagine a torso bending up and down and sideways, then that space is filled upon that movement. Although this particular example seems a bit excessive.

Vendel era, so earlier at around 550 to early 800 AD and more specific to Sweden. I will always find the pre-viking Scandinavia to be infinitely more interesting than the hot bullshit typical neo-pagan hamlords want to peddle.
