IMO it looks kinda beefy. I never seen an actual Italian armor recreation before but from what I've seen in game I always imagined it as an agile set of armor with freedom of movement. I'm not saying they should change it because of my ignorance, it's just me being slightly disappointed. I hope there will be more stuff in this patch

actually the opposite i believe, iirc italian armor was suited towards the style in.. well, italy, which was primarily of the mounted smacko variety, which is why you see much more asymmetry and big 'ol elbow things (couters?) and pauldrons. with german or especially english armor (english armor is really big on this) you see more of an emphasis on mobility. afaik english knights favored being dismounted because it rains in england all the time and horses + mud don't mix very well

Grator said that this patch will be "the biggest cosmetic drop". Also , 2 new weapons coming (Falx and Corseca, maybe Scimitar), devs promised middle-eastern stuff, some armor from the vendel period, and more

I never really thought about why English knights preferred fighting on foot, but this kind of blew my mind. It's so simple!

terrain dictates tactics, hasn't changed in the past few millennia
