>An army of knights charging with their lances is equivalent to cars at full speed.I can see why they thought they were invincible and why muslim eye-witnesses thought of their charge is like "arrows being shot".

>>65069358>Small car>2,000#Lol. LMAO, even. What past century decade was this written in? Or by light do we mean exclusively subcompact? A fucking smart car weighs a ton.
>>65069659What are you on about? You literally provided an example that proves the author's point.
>>65069358I've always wondered how those lancer units during WWI and WWII engaged motorized convoys. I suppose it'd obviously be through whatever firearms they had on hand, but could a lance charge stop an engine if the lancer managed to perfectly line up his weapon?
>>65069659Japanese kei cars are everywhere in Japan and often weigh less than a to, especially those using 660cc engines.
>>65069670Yeah, if it's unarmored. You could probably disable a modern car by stabbing a long knife through the hood and hitting something important.Would have better luck with lunge mines.
>>65069602What exactly do you think they got wrong here, buddy? My grandparents have two horses that weigh over a ton, and that's without some armoured lad sitting on top.
>>65069659>A fucking smart car weighs a ton.A Smart #5 is 2,450 kg.
>>65069670They didn't; in every instance of cavalry units going into battle in WW2, they fought as dismounts. Vast majority of WW1 as well.>>65069659Yeah bit of an exaggeration, that>>65070221You might have a 2200lb horse but that was far from average for a medieval destrierMadlad and chamfron can't mass more than 300lb on top of that
>>65069358>at full speedDon't be retarded, you made that part up yourself.
>>65069358>thought of their charge is like "arrows being shot".That doesn't necessarily mean fast, that just means "impossible to arrest".
>>65069602>trusting nihongo comic writers to know shit about fuck outside of optimal train-molestation proceduresGreat now I’m curious on what their thoughts would be on >what is the optimal train-molestation procedure if you are a 15th century knightBecause like the little Japanese chick would notice the knight is coming, and the knight can’t cope a feel since there’s a metal gauntlet in the way.
>>65070250Horses at full speed, not cars at full speed.
>>65070221Your grandparents have draught horses, warhorses were much lighter. OP's weeb picture is just wrong and bullshit. Warhorses were about 1000-1200lb for most of the medieval period, only getting to 1300lb in the late medieval period. A 2200lb warhorse is unheard of. It's a very well studied topic.
>>65070314Yeah, that makes no sense, just admit you're a retard.
>>65070272>and the knight can’t cope a feel since there’s a metal gauntlet in the way.the gaultlets are only metal on the outside, the palm that wraps around the weapon is just a leather glove so it's not a problem.taking the dick out to rub over her shoulder, now that'd be a challenging proposition in full armor.
>>65069358>they're definitely stronger than your average guy!>Ghh! He's strong!>I need to become stronger!>Let's both get stronger together, okay?Why do nips talk like this
>>65070226To be fair, even if we assume 2000lb with horse and rider combined and a speed of maybe 25 miles per hour, that is solidly in the ballpark of getting run over by a car.A small car, not moving particularly fast for a car, but easily enough to kill you.
>>65069697Why were lunge mines suicidal? Literally make the stick longer wtf
>>65070518They were literally stronger because they were rich and could eat as much as they wanted and train all day. The average peasant being 5 foot tall isn't because humans evolved to be bigger within a century. It was hunger and malnutrition.
>>65071100it would absolutely kill you, i still remember from driver's ed that the fatality threshold for the typical saloon car is about 20mph. that is, impacts above that speed have a non-zero chance of killing someoneI was only commenting on the accuracy of that manga writeupat the very height of a charge however, when the horse accelerates to 30 or even 40mph, it stands to reason that the impact of Renaissance-era steel barding alone is going to break something even if it doesn't kill outright
>>65070518>Why do nips talk like thisby the same logic, all burgers quip like MCU characters and all brits talk in either roadman or BBC RP
>>65069358>full speedDoesn't say that anywhere.
>>65070518>they're definitely stronger than your average guy!Well the average Knight is stronger then the average guy is he not?
