It looks uncomfortable and heavy. I don't like knights in general

Samurais had a real Philosophy unlike knights who just executed orders

ok let's talk about this, good matter

visibility, field of vision, sights are all crucial in battles aka difference between life and death

the samurai armors afaIk reference to two main models : sengoku jidai period and genpei period if I remember correctly, the latter featured bizarre protections, the first one I find more pleasuring to the eye and also better suited for combat

about knights, you refer to medieval stuff right?

 

[ArtoriasWolf]

Agreed, no better looking armor than knight armor.

Visibility and field of vision meant shit if you could just spin around with your sword because you were on god mode. In full plate armor you were basically immune to any direct attacks and could slay the villagers like Chico Lachowski. Samurai armour can't even be compared, somebody could stab you in the foot to make you shit yourself from pain and then finish you with a fucking fork because there are so many gaps he can thrust in. Maybe you're gonna say that katana was better than european swords too?

 

[Crustaciouse]

Samurai armor was wooden and leather shit woven together, they are shit compared to knightly craftsmanship. And the swords they used are even worse, that shit would break after 10 hits and was mainly used as traditional atire.

It didn't notify me about this 

But basically what akarin said

Yes it is limited but for me I think it's a fair tradeoff for a good protection

But i find engravings on knight armor more appealing

I'm also talking late middle age stuff like 15th or 14th century

Little note:

The armors I showed were random pictures to look at design
so if you got a armor set that you think that is better
(Functionality or looks nice) please share it

Your first sentence doesn't make sense to me. No offense.

Full plate armor lol, they were forced to only fight in winter just to give you some context.

The comparison is hypothetical obviously, armors and weaps comes together, different style of combat etc.

Katana is vastly better than any medieval sword, technically speaking.

No reason to talk with you about history ever again. Katana is a shitty thin piece of bad quality iron which was good only for cutting bamboo in exhibitions because it gets dull so fast.

And yes, visibility means shit if you can go full god mode on you enemies. Knight was almost invincible in battle while samurai needed to look around all the time because he's armour was wooden piece of shit that could get pierced by a kitchen knife.

sengoku jidai period

 

[Themisterpepsi]

sengoku jidai period

Like this?

The really only think I like from these sets is the ornaments on the kabuto

 

[nausea]

Like this?

yes like that

the style and ornaments are fabulous

some guy years ago showed me a katana he bought in japan, truly amazing weapon, perfectly balanced, deadly

yes they are also varied in appearance, but do not underestimate medieval european stuff, it too is very valuable

are you usa?

 

[Themisterpepsi]

some guy years ago showed me a katana he bought in japan, truly amazing weapon, perfectly balanced, deadly

I don't want to go weebish and shit

They are made in a ingenious way though

They fold high carbon steel over low carbon steel so it would not break easily under pressure but still be sharp

That's why they are curved

It had some fish ornament on it

Don't have the pic though

Sucking off japan

 

[nausea]

Sucking off japan

why you hate jap?

 

[Akarin]

some guy years ago showed me a katana he bought in japan, truly amazing weapon, perfectly balanced, deadly

So you rate the usefulness of a sword based on swinging it few times through air?

are you playing smartass?

 

[Themisterpepsi]

why you hate jap?

I don't hate it

Maybe I show dislike because normies have glorified it too much

 

[Akarin]

are you playing smartass?

You are playing dumbass. Katanas are balanced and look cool but they are almost useless in battle. They weren't even used there because samurais mainly used their spears. They get dull insanely fast and they are so thin they can break or bend when they are hitting something harder than bamboo.

you confuse ashigaru with samurai, maybe

samurai used alot of weaps

if we agree to extend this topic to whole historical warfare I am more than happy

Katanas were the last resort. They were mainly archers but if they had to fight hand to hand it was always a polearm, not some parody of a sword.

which jap weap do you like the most?

 

[Akarin]

which jap weap do you like the most?

Like? Katana. Useless at war but good enough to cut through normies. If I had to take something to war that would be probably naginata. Good for thrusting, good for cutting and long enough to keep safe distance.

 

[nausea]

naginata.

yea I like it too, good weap

your fav european med weap?

 

[Akarin]

yea I like it too, good weap

your fav european med weap?

Any sword would do. If I was a normal infantryman I'd go for one handed with a shield. If I was fully armoured knight I would go for some huge ass zweihänder

knight on foot you mean right?

 

[Akarin]

knight on foot you mean right?

Yeah. I'd sit on a horse only if I had a bow.

hmmm, only if I were a mongol

I would with a spear

also, to be able to do good things with mounted archery you need a superbased training
