It was indeed used for jousting, it is (like you mentioned) designed in a way that protects the user of wooden pieces which are from the lances when they impact. The Devs of Mordhau could probably tweak it a bit for better usability/realism. For example removing the plate ( or making it smaller), making the helmet smaller in general.
There are many ways to tweak the model for the Frog-mouth Helmet. And personally I think that it would actually be comepletely fine the way it is, because I suggested it because it just looks very cool ( Iām also a giant fan of the helmet and own one myself).
Maybe there could be something added like jousting helmets and eventually a Perk which adds certain bonuses and lets people use jousting equipment. A gamemode could also be combined with that eventually. But these are only ideas and a little suggestion which I think might look cool when used with the right armors and metal tints and what not.
the thing though - if we tweak it to work within the confines of the game, it might just end up looking like some weird LARP attempt instead of like an actual frogmouth.
it could be cool, but there are a lot of question marks surrounding how we would make it work. no guarantees, but we're aware people want it :)
