Why cant films/tv properly do medieval armor, arms, and sword and poleaxe fighting?
Because everyone else isn't an autistic history club kid. Fag.
>>221364696can you use Soviet jets in a film about the Battle of Britain?
>>221364674Man, it seems like it would be really awkward not being able to turn your head at all.
>>221364674Metal freezes in the cold and boils in the heat. What sort of insulation did these guys have? How long would they stay in full kit for?
>>221364674>holding the blade by its edgewere people back then really this retarted?
>>221364850The bevor wasn't so tight you couldn't turn a bit, not full range of motion though. Some were hinged and could be pulled down.Jousting helmets were bolted to the hauberk however.So you'd have do the Keaton Batman turn.
>>221364818Are we a thousand years in the future in this scenario? Because you'd still be autistic.
>>221364927They actually show it in that picture look at the bottom left. figure 25 shows the undergarment, the arming doublet, and figure 24 shows the over-garment, the surcoat.>>221364850With that helmet you still have some mobility, but even with helmets/neck protection that didn't allow for it, the idea is impaired neck mobility is better than getting your neck broken.
>>221364927They wore standards or tabards over the armor, this could be to protect them from direct sunlight.Dont know about cold protection but everything would be oiled to protect against rust.Under the armor there would be a padded jacket to protect against chaffing and blunt force.>>221364935Halfhanding was used to get more force in thrusting the blade into + precision maneuvering into chinks in plate armor; as well as to block and parry, and use the pommel as a blunt weapon.By applying pressure to the flat top and bottom rather than the blade you can hold it this way. And it is possible the lower third or half of the sword, the ricassio, was no sharpened.The plate gauntlets he is wearing would have leather lining too.
>>221364674A samurai would fucking DESTROY a medieval knight. It wouldn’t even be close
>>221365096True.
I thought Dunk did a good job?
>>221365096Fuck no. Bitch as katana ain't doing no damage. Meanwhile the blunt force made is caving in the slopes fuckin head
>>221365146>Mase, blunt force weapon what have you
>>221365146Kek, imagine believing this. A katana would slice through their shitty little armor like a hot knife through butter, god forbid the samurai uses a yari
>>221365180Lol, you're retarded.. ok. Have fun, weebo faggots
>>221365146>>221365163how did you fail twice to spell mace correctly?
>>221365224The fucking phone. I'm at a concert. My brain is all frazzled
>>221365074arming doublet was a late development, mid-1400s iirc. It embroided on the maille voiders that had been worn as sleeves to fill the gaps in plate arm pieces
>>221365224There's a reason smart people have him filtered.
>>221365224he’s a knightfag…they lack braincells
Samurai used hammers and had a specialised anti-armor weapon called the Kanabo.They'd try either a spear, Yari, or this.Men-at-Arms trained in grappling and wrestling to, taking their openent to the ground, locking a limb, and getting their poignard into a gap in the armor.They would have been evenly matched.
>>221365246OP is a 15th century Teutonic knight, you can see the label in the top left of the picture.
Italians were the most complex, German gothic the most ornate, but it was the English who had the thickest heaviest armor as they abandoned the cavalry charge for an armored column of footmen backed up by massed archers.
>>221364674>14th centuryass end of the medieval age, arguably more early modern than medieval. Not like "medieval armor" can be summed up in one picture anyway.
>>22136540515th*I'm so embarassed
>>221365405>Not like "medieval armor" can be summed up in one picture anyway.
>>221364674because unlike in asia, traditional european martial arts knowledge was lost for hundreds of years and there's no public awareness of what it even looks likethat's why even in asian fantasy media the weapons, armor, and techniques are usually at least based in reality, while most western stuff is totally disconnected from anything real
>>221364674You're complaining?!They can't even make historically accurate Vikings, despite them being much simpler than a knight.
I guess I'll never understand why kids crosspost like this. If you want to talk about video games you go to that board. Same with history. You gonna ask us to cast a battle next, you fucking retard?
>>221365436>and there's no public awareness of what it even looks like
>>221365436so check with people who know
>>221365469what crosspost?
>>221365456>Hollywood: if it isn't gray, black or a shade of dark blue, it won't work.
>>221364674just play a fromsoftware game. You'll get all the armor, sword and board you want.
>>221365504but the audiences don't knowthat's the pointthere's no reason to do that if audiences don't understand
>>221365571>can you use Soviet jets in a film about the Battle of Britain?
>>221365434you got me
>>221365664the final boss the cuirassair was no joke, the armor worn by the London Lobsters in the English Civil War could withstand a point blank shot to the helmet from a horse pistol
>>221364674It's boring.
we need this in a film
>>221365838>bashing plates of iron with a blade is not boring
>>221365811It absolutely could not, that's why they taught cavalrymen to do that exact specific thing and press their pistols right up to the helmets to get through
>>221365963https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Lobsters
>>221364674
>>221366081
>>221366068yeah nigga I know who they are, it doesn't change that cavalrymen in that time were specifically instructed to press the pistol barrel against someone's helmet to guarantee a kill
>>221366218this guy is really cool

>>221364674>15th centuryBarely
>>221364674Friendly reminder that swords were not held on the blade, because contrary to popular belief, people were not as retarded back then as they are today.
>>221364674>medieval armor, arms, and sword and poleaxe fighting?Watch fantasy anime unironically.
>>221365096You know NOTHING about pre-modern metallurgy FAGGOT
>>221364696You dont need to sign your posts.
>>221365436>traditional european martial arts knowledge was lost for hundreds of yearsI'm sorry what ? Are you retarded ?
>>221364818A lot of classic WW2 movies have used anachronistic vehicles. I'm sure plenty of people "in the know" were aware, but assuming the movie is good the vast majority of people don't care, including those who can spot the difference. Did they use Soviet jets in the film Top Gun?
>>221364674Cause if they put the the actors in armor that is actually colored (painted) in a way that they actually were, the normie will screech about them looking stupid and weird. Most directors can't deal with that.
