"Fantasy" is having Dune's Shield technology revert all combat to knife fighting, because that makes sense.
What doesn't make sense is somehow the laws of physics shifting into making boob armor viable for teen boys to ogle at.

Games with boob armor have many things more unrealistic in them than that.

You focusing on the boob armor means that the issue is with you.

A female Knight/soldier is already fantasy, what's the problem at that point?

I like that design. What can I say more, I just like girls :)

Imagine young paladin that first time dons the armor and is extremely embarrassed that her chest is amplified that way and everyone is watching

Magic armor is a super common trope.

When you have magic weapons , attack skills , hit points , stamina points and all sorts of other elements that alter the realism of the combat then practicality is a mute point.

>>female character in video games

if they bring no sex appeal give a reason why you like the character

Armor doesn't work in fantasy, people cut through plate, mail like butter. Plot armor gives more protection than any other type of armor anyway

I wasn't but you clearly can't refute it anyway.

I don't understand why you would be upset about boob plate armour, armour highlighting exaggerated sexual or other physical status was very common and if you're in a fantasy setting where women can be warriors some may want to choose to be able to do something similar

You're thinking of that early 80's series. Other depictions like his 90's series and that movie are fucking great.

I never said potions/auto-regen was fine. I think unless the potions are clearly shown to be some bullshit magic alchemy that its applications are fucking stupid.

I'm not the biggest fan of it, but I'll defend its inclusion if the author/developer includes it anyway.

That makes it even more dangerous for the same reason it's dangerous on characters with boobs. It's because the armor would be pressing up against one specific spot at the center of the sternum, instead of being spread out across the entirety of the chest.

I remember having a screenshot on me that was an article with excerpts from a woman who served in the military explaining why women in combat teams are a bad idea, but I don't where it is

I've seen videos of late medieval reproduction crossbows being fired almost point blank into a steel chest plate and they either snap or richochet off. Knights were more often than not downed by their horses getting fucked or a lucky hit to a weak point like a joint in the armour.

Just put some extra padding. The room's there.

Any armor on the female body is unrealistic. Even modern kevlar fucks with women that only have A cups. They're literally not designed in any capacity for the female body.
You would have to spend years upon years finding even the most basic design that doesn't destroy the female torso, then make that viable armor.

Depends how thick the breast plate is dipshit.

First of all, realism is fucking cancer and second of all

>males used codpieces to show off their dicks

Okay buddy

Boob armor is perfectly acceptable in fantasy and if society had turned out differently where females were the primary warriors in the time when armor was used then boob armor would have actually existed. not in the same obviously fantastical form, but armor was designed to emphasize the ideal form in order to create an image of strength, so it emphasized broad shoulders, large chest, and small waist (yes real plate armor had very tiny waists) so if the female form was the image of strength then yes in fact boob armor would exist, and in the rare situation that men wore it they'd be wearing boob armor and it'd be just as seemingly practical for them to do so as it is for female warriors in fantasy to wear regular male-shaped armor for us today.

That's how it actually works. To say boob armor is sexist or problematic is 100% the opposite, saying it shouldn't exist is actually sexist, because by all reason it 100% could exist. Saying it shouldn't is something muh patriarchy would do.

Literally 100% of the faggots complaining about "realistic" armor in a video game have no argument to stand on by any means. The only times these ever really matter are in realism/period simulators like Mordhau, Chivalry, and other historical games. Within the realm of fantasy, significantly stupider shit exists all across the board, and 99% of armor in those settings wouldn't protect the user from the myriad extremely dangerous shit found therein. The people who cry about boob armor day in and day out would never even begin to address characters wearing 900lb pauldrons or wearing armor plates that look about seven inches thick that have no discernible straps or means of being placed onto the character. They also seem to think that armor built with dozens of giant black spikes and covered in eyes is normal. But GOD HELP YOU if it's boob armor. Anything that is sexual utterly devastates my puritanical sensibilities.

I've always been fascinated by the shape. I suppose the slanted armor provides a bit thicker protection, but on the other hand it directs blows to the armpits which is not good at all.

This is mitigated when wearing full plate of course, but otherwise I feel you might be better off wearing a flat plate or something rounded differently.

Of course the chance that a blow might hit you in the armpit is better than striking unarmored torso so idk.

Fantasy is also having armour be suitable as armour no matter what it looks like. You can't put rules on the fantastic.

This is actual battle armor from medieval times.
It's fucking woven cloth, medieval armor was expensive and impractical, so the idea that women wearing armor should be realistic is fucking retarded because parading around in armor all the fucking time is fucking retarded.

I prefer low fantasy. You can have health potions, magic rings, sure.

At least have an excuse like "My magic circlet has a force field that is as strong as a steel helmet!"

The witches wear whatever, because they can just magic projectiles away, while the common soldier has to protect himself the best he can.

You're right. Adding weight to your body actually makes you faster.

Attached: plate mail jumping jacks.gif (389x338, 3.41M)

because obviously there is more info on the relatively light bullet resistant armor than mediëval armor, shocker, I know. Getting clad in steel is retarded and any weight making you slower is a deadweight. A crossbow bolt is going to AT THE VERY LEAST hurt you in full plate, rendering you immobile. Unarmored you'll die straight away. In both cases you are out of comission. Best is to go for speed and mobility.

If you don't need to be that mobile, like a town guard, sure. However any bandit ambush will end badly for you as you can't pursuit and they can exit whenever they want. If you INSIST on armor get very lightweight intimidation armor (aztec) or intimidation tattoos (Maori). Always fight in rough or very soft terrain if you can help it.

NEWSFLASH FUCKFACE! SpaceBattles has been primetime "fantasy is unrealistic" autism since like 08 and has been infamous all over the internet. Even before then, IRC chats used to be full of full-retard tier autism blowouts. And before that, nerd magazines used to be drowning in fan letters that were 1000 words of pure on-the-spectrum vitriol about how Red Sonja should be dead by now and theres no way that a dragon could reasonably breathe fire and yadda yadda yadda.

Every armor has strength and weaknesses in certain scenarios (falling from a bridge into a lake, wearing full plate etc).
In a large field battle, I would still prefer plate armor.

this, intimidation/morale boosting (think officer/general) armor is proven to have an effect though. why do you think bandits/raiders/savages with their warped trash armor come off as so freaky?

if a woman even got that far, they were just squished. women were like a seperate species with no rights so a handmade armor makes no sense.

There is nothing greater than bikini and boob armor. Great and powerful armies have lost by the sheer awesomeness and eternal channeling of divinity harnessed through the embrace of minimalist armor. The less armor you have on, the greater durability and longevity which you possess.

>about that guy, are there even 60kg armors? that's as much as a healthy adult woman.
I forget if it's MUHREENS or Armyfags in general, but they have to lug around roughly 50-60kgs in equipment, their armour makes up about half of that.

No, I'm saying that damaging an enemies logistical capabilities through small scale attacks has always been a thing, and very often.

but mediëval people were less healthy, shorter, and nutritional knowledge isn't what it is now either. How hellish is that to carry, what I asume, your body weight?

I haven't tried it (well, who has, apart from these guys vimeo.com/13634653), but I would strongly guess you can't.
My plate arms for example are 3 straps, plus 3 knots per arm, with the knots being leather strips that are hard to undo, especially since they're under the arm AND they're under the pauldrons.
The legs are knotted to the lendenier, which is beneath my brigandine, equally hard to reach, and it has more straps.

The people that could afford such armor were usually fit and well fed enough.

correct, they had the means, but meat was a luxury item by then. wouldn't they overindulge and gorge on that? I'm curious how good nutritional knowledge was by then.

Their diets actually weren't that bad, comparable to a second world nation most of the time.
>How hellish is that to carry, what I asume, your body weight?
They didn't, their equipment was typically far lighter, it was mostly the nobles or richer soldiers that used heavy armour, and even then it was probably lighter than what modern soldiers carry.

Except one can achieve a fine balance between heavy armor and being light enough to say, remain mobile, and different situations ask for different levels of armor. History of combat in Europe proves you're full of shit.

>dissing Europe while talking about mediëval armor

Yikes!

Dangerous how? Like dangerous to put in games because faggots think it's harmful to society or dangerous as in you're going to draw blows towards your body and something is going to pierce your armor and kill you? The latter makes sense at least.

>Not that guy but what if the flood season hit? getting stuck in mud sounds BAD while in armor.
Look up Denmark getting JUSTed by Dithmarschen

is that something regular? I saw Germanic armors and they have very pointy visors and not the chad armor.

it doesn't though, because you're still dealing with hardened steel. plus the force of the blow will be reduced greatly by the initial impact, so when it's "funneled" to the sternum it won't have enough force to be a concern

How is boobplate even dangerous? You could reinforce the cleavage with more metal or just put more padding in the sternum. This shit would've fallen out of favor past antiquity anyhow had women been the ones expected to go to war in the first place

>Not that guy but what if the flood season hit?
That's why I mentioned "different situations ask for different levels of armor". Successive victories prove that some protection beats no protection every single time, the question is how much so it doesn't overburden the army.

What part of the armor are you asking about?
The visor is the part of the helmet that you can lower or raise.
A helmet with a pointy visor could be a Houndskull Bascinet.

Or are you talking about the codpiece?

Not entirely true. The problem is that a concave area is a structural weak spot. A large percentage of the protection you get from a breastplate is due to the fact that it is curved in all directions. That's why cheap larp armor can cave in when you hit it, while historical armor doesn't.
If you have a concave spot, this spot will
a) press against your sternum each time you're hit
b) catch bolts, they don't lose THAT much energy if they already hit close to the concave part
c) not be able to transport the impact energy away from the spot it's hit as well as regular armor.

Horses almost never stay still during it and the force of being knocked off in armor can be devastating in a fight.

Why would violently falling off a horse fuck you up? Especially when you are probably falling down right next to an enemy? Are you retarded?

Pretty sure being in armor makes you more safe against falls than if you weren't wearing it.

Why did you post an image of a video that Disproves your fucking post

Being knocked off a horse its like falling off a rather tall plaform, its worse if it the horse falls on you.

But actually I was just fishing for the "hurr durr knights couldn't get up if they fell"-stupidity, seems you dodged that :^)

Not necessarily. You are still absorbing the weight of your body plus armor striking the ground from several feet up.

There is a reason why blunt weapons were the go to weapon against plate armor. Nothing stops blunt force entirely.

> by their horses getting fucked
And I thought you meant that differently...

>merelypretending.jpg

Stop looking to fiction to depict realistic standards of combat. A woman isn't gonna be in a suit of armor to begin with.

knights couldn't get up if they fell mostly because the combined weight falling off the horse knocked the wind out of them at best

The average peasant ate a diet that would make a /fit/izen cream themselves user

I just realized what's their argument for mages who don't wear any armor? It's a fantasy setting afterall.

He said LIKE, He-Man, not the spitting image of He-Man. His cartoon proportions are an unattainable ideal to get closer to. Handsome, buff, brave. Being more like He-Man could be as simple as improving yourself by some degree. Replace He-Man with any ideal figure and you have the basis of religion. I think the issue is that women simply do not have ideals. They want to be held up against nothing that they can fall short of, so they tear everything around them down, trying to level the playing field to wherever they are.

>current year
>still throwing a hissyfit over "realism" in a medium disegined for escapism.

Women wearing historically accurate armor really turns me on. Not historically accurate, even; just when they wear functional looking kit. Same with the Israeli Jewesses in uniform. I think Mass Effect struck a good balance. In the first game, at least; the armor on the female models was form-fitting and curvy, accentuating their figure while still being full coverage. The men's was the exact same thing so nobody could bitch.

I always assumed it was because magic-users are arrogant and like to dab on people with lightning and shit in their bathrobes.

At which point you realize its not about having literally the same type of body as someone like He-Man or Arnold Schwarzenegger, but rather that you should strive for self-betterment regardless of what endgoal you set for yourself.

I just don't consider women in combat roles realistic nor should it shown in fantasy either. The same goes for female "badasses" acting like, it looks corny and pathetic.

I was trained in blacksmithing for 3 years and 2 additional years in ornamental blacksmithing. I have not the slightest clue how to even construct something like that.

Realism would be women not in armor at all and instead sewing fabric or cooking at home while the men are decked in armor protecting the kingdom.
So either take the titty armor or fuck off.

If by 'get rid of it' you mean puncture it in a small area and pierce the flesh beneath then yeah sure. The armour didn't shatter and disintegrate.

Probably because the armour still protects you from all the other shit on the battlefield you ninny.

well video game women can have lovely personalities, unlike real women

Realism is retarded because it's selectively enforced and no one wants to admit to it.

This is my issue. There used to be a time where each camp could enjoy their stuff on their own terms, but after a certain point certain people started screeching about "realism" in shit where realism was never meant to be a factor. I don't necessarily mind women in "realistic" armor, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna stop enjoying bikini armors, nor will I demand every woman be in them. But it seems like the people who don't like revealing outfits REALLY won't shut the fuck up about it or just let shit be. Then they act surprised and indignant when there's pushback against their bitching. Ironically, the most egregious examples that they bitch about tend to be outliers to begin with.

Yeah and strongfat usually comes out on top functionally. Unless you're talking about muscle pageants.

So should big guys wear plate or is custom fitting plate to this size simply too expensive? Should I stick to leather armor?

Have you?
Nobody looks like He-Man there, they're all dudes with tree trunk abdomens and probably a gut on top of that.

He-Man works his upper and lower body, but doesn't do anything that requires his midsection except situps.

you never said anything about fat and neither did i

everyone in the strongman competitions has big muscles

Armour protected reasonably well against bolts and arrows. They managed to make bullet proof armour up to the 19th century.

Face has some of the worst arms and armour designs in anime history - and this is quite the achievement.

That's no good

Bolts and arrows were better at penetrating for a really long time, mostly due to mass

>shields are made of wood
Generally true but full metal shields did exist, e.g. some bucklers or round-targes. Usually, these were comparatively small shields though. Anything larger was usually made out of wood, otherwise it would be impractically heavy.

>And yes, women like it, why wouldn't they?

They can like it all they want, but its fucking hypocritical when there's all this bitching about guys enjoying supermodel-tier women or society pushing unrealistic standards or some shit. The women who bitch about unrealistically attractive females in fiction conveniently shut up once they see a buff sweaty shirtless man who soaks their panties.

The one retarded part about boob armour isn’t the impact it funnels to the chest, but the fact that it basically assumes the woman isn’t wearing anything underneath. Due to any protective gear worn under the armour you would bind your boobs and essentially run around with two hollow domes on your chest. Still not impossible due to aesthetics, but monoboob armour would be preferable

Not the guy you're talking to but they literally show you the originals they were based on. Obviously they wouldn't want to damage the originals but the armours you see there are definitely reasonably accurate.

You've already been proven to be wrong. Leave in dignity or garner even more shame.

>This princess wears running shoes
Is that the joke?

Early firearms actually used quite heavy projectiles, one should not underestimate their potential at short ranges. The problem was mostly that they would lose energy quickly, as they were not yet using aerodynamic projectiles. When it comes to penetrating armour, I would put my money on an arquebus over a bow or crossbow.

Which is understandable, but it should also be noted that they were made using different material and techniques. The metals in particular in recreations tend to be more refined, lighter, and thinner than the originals. For instance the joint rivets on the recreations are cleaner and more mobile than what you'd find on the originals. The sheet steel they use for the plates on the recreations also tend to be significantly thinner and lighter requiring less endurance to move around like displayed in that video.

Proven wrong how, by someone posting the video that straight up says they aren't the real thing? Oh no, my dignity.

A complete suit of plate armour made from well-tempered steel would weigh around 15–25 kg. The wearer remained highly agile and could jump, run and otherwise move freely as the weight of the armour was spread evenly throughout the body.

This guy's armor (without bacinet) weighs 28.18kg

>9gag
Fucking summerfags

more chest armor = better protection

makes sense to me

>The metals in particular in recreations tend to be more refined, lighter, and thinner than the originals.
It is actually the opposite: a modern made armour is usually made from a piece of sheet metal that is cut out and then hammered into shape. A historical piece of armour would be driven into shape from a bar which means that it will naturally be thicker around the centre and weaken towards the edges. Armourers made use of this to specifically reinforce parts that would be likely hit while introduce thinner parts where only coverage from glancing hits would be needed. A historical armour usually weighs less than a modern reproduction. The joints and rivets would be perfectly functional in a historical armour. You shouldn't underestimate the tools they had at the time. During the late 15th and early 16th century they already had water-powered tools.

This bitching about realistic armors ignores the fact that very few women ever see combat and actively dodge it by getting pregnant whenever a war starts and they're enlisted, not to mention the fact that they literally aren't capable of fighting because they lack sufficient amounts of testosterone which coupled with cortisol makes men fighting machines. Not even going into muscle density, frame, build, speed, reaction time, it goes on and on.

Realism only matters to these cunts when it's about them feeling uncomfortable that virtual characters have bigger breasts than they do, other people's wants and wishes be damned. This is the only time when they call on realism. Once you prod and poke a bit, they will call you misogynistic for even calling into question women's fighting prowess because they're literally brainwashed zealots who believe men and women are mentally and physically identical bar genitalia.

TL;DR Realism for armor good, realism for everything else bad, because muh sexual insecurity.

Did you consider to just google "P250 pump", my pathetic brainlet comrade?

For comparison: this is a jousting armour for the joust of war from the late 15th century. It would be outfitted with a modular target piece and features a spring-loaded mechanism that would launch flowers and coloured parts of wood or metal into the air to indicate a good hit.

Magic needs to have internal rules and consistency or it doesn't work, and bear at least some resemblance to reality or there's nothing to connect it to your frame of reference.

or may be idk
completely abandon the retarded idea of females in close range combat?

Literally wearing a coat slows you down and makes you overheat. You actually think wearing a half dozen layers of cloth and metal won't do anything?

I literally posted the device in . It still works.

We get it, you're a woman. You don't understand. Your ignorance isn't an excuse for being wrong.

I've seen guys scale a 6 foot wall wearing a plate carrier and rucksack, and sprint with gpmgs doesn't make that shit not heavy.

I thought similarly but still disagree. Puritanical sensibilities in this context would stem from offense in armor being used solely to delineate the female form. Liberals and "game journalist" complain out of intrinsic jealousy and antagonism; these are the same people that defend slut walks and similar. The issue for them isn't really that boob armor exists, but that (most of the times) boob armor in a game was designed by a man.

Okay, here is some indisputable, objective, big brain truth for you: Only a straight white male space could think treating everyone as straight white men by default is being fair.

You only treat them the same as long as they don't break the illusion of straight white maleness. Thus, only straight white men are allowed to be open about who they are.
There are no women on the internet, and no one knows you're a nigger. That assumes a white male default. And don't tell me straight white men are shat on for broadcasting your gender/sex/race/whatever, because mentioning your dick doesn't get the same response as mentioning your vagina, showing a white hand in a picture doesn't get the same response as showing a black hand, talking about tfwngf doesn't get the same response as tfwnbf.

The default is so ingrained that you don't even notice it. You look straight past these obvious markers of identity because they merely confirm the identity you've already implicitly assumed they had.

You can talk about dicks all day long but mention your boobs once and people will be tripping over themselves to say "no girls on the internet, now tits or GTFO" (a phrase that, if you think about it, itself reinforces heteronormative patriarchy).

Its literally not dangerous, its still steel and armor doesn't sit flat against them to begin with. Her boobs aren't actually in there.
They act like cod pieces in male armor that actually existed and accentuated the male form of what they found attractive in men at the time.
When it doesn't impact performance people will add form.
And even when it does like how the big dicks prevented horseback riding.
If a lot of women participated in battles there would have been armor made with boobs.
Hell roman armor had nipples and sixpacks on it.
Its not unrealistic, other than the a lot of women fighting bit, deal with it.

Funny thing is if we give them women fighting in armor bit, it is realistic for armors to have boobs cause armors had dicks and six packs throughout history.

female boob armor is practical, and if more women were fighting back then, there would be more armor to have breast cups.

>Weighed down by his armour, he drowned in water that was barely hip-deep.

The answer is yes. Breastplates are curved to distribute force preferably, deflect poorly angled blows, and to contour around the body for comfort.

Boobplates drive blows and force straight towards a focused point over the center of your chest, making rib or sternum breaks far more likely along with providing an edge able to gouge you should it dent inwards, and any woman you ask will confirm putting their tits into a metal tit socket sounds horribly uncomfortable and sweaty.

Frilly dress armour is God's gift to mankind however.
