  • Mobility in Medieval Plate Armor. This video shows that full plate allows one to stand up from a fall with relative ease. Perhaps the most infamous example is the notion that "knights had to be hoisted into their saddles with a crane," which is as absurd as it is persistent even among many historians. Misconceptions and Questions Relating to Armor. Armor was worn only by knights.Wrong. Women of earlier times never fought in battle or wore armor.-Wrong. Armor was so expensive that only princes and rich nobility could afford it.-Wrong. Armor is extremely heavy and renders its wearer immobile.-Wrong. Knights had to be hoisted into their saddles with cranes.-Wrong.

    Seeing this reminds me of one of the Uni Technicians, he used to do medieval re-enactments in full armour. He had some really good stories including one where a little car failed to stop as he was crossing the road and proceeded to wrap itself around his leg. He was fine, the car wasn't. Sadly he passed away just before I graduated.

    There is even more. I have some time ago started walking with a weighted backpack. This is called rucking and is essentially what army soldiers do during training to improve their overall fitness and aerobic capacity.
    Over months of regular daily walks I would monitor my heart rate and slowly increase my pace and load to keep my heart rate around my target. My fitness improved to the point where walking with a backpack was less taxing than walking without it before I started my training.
    When the weight reached 45 pounds it became painful to walk due to uneven pressure on some parts of my body. I changed the backpack to a weighted vest of the same weight. But now thanks to this vest being *around* my trunk rather than on my back, it became very easy for me to walk around.
    I can confidently say that people who wore these contraptions would not have any problem moving around due to weight alone, as long as they also spend enough time each day training in them. Your body can adjust to the load, you learn to move in new ways that take the added load into account and all your muscles, tendons and joints strengthen to withstand it as well as your cardiovascular, aerobic and endurance.

      High impact jumping could damage your knees, but you'd be retarded to think jumping down even a 3ft elevation would be ok. As long as you are avoiding the high impact on your knees, you are good. You will actually increase bone density as well as muscle strength. Pressure on those tissues triggers them to strengthen.
      You should google "weight training bines vs normal bones" and typically you can find some pictures. They are thicker and more dense. Its like looking at a piece of wood vs a piece of rock.

      In the 15th and 16th century (gothic and renaisance) the plate armor was the most active, but sadly, either you have to be rich enough to afford it ( horse, armor, weapons, clothes under the armor, saddle etc) and that price is equal to modern tank (with different currency, but still a tank) your other option to get it is to loot. The best armory was in german territories (holy roman empire) and italian states. But id recomend for your fattas the italian, since german required for you to be unaturaly slim. They did this by having a certain thing on them. They were still mobile (i believe terrifingly even more so) but german knights had to make themself slim by wearing a piece of clothing that would be later used by women from 18th century to 1930's.

      You have a point but one thing you forgot to mention is that armor is noisy so sneaking around can be difficult but what I’m talking about is when someone staying in the base defending... and some survivors or “base members” are coming back with a horde chasing them. So if you put it this way:
      Ten armored men with automatic fire mode on or single fire for ammo saving.. encounter a horde coming from obviously one side. And the defenders attack!! The defenders will eventually reload and lose sight of some the undead in the horde... so if they lost sight of the horde then they might get attacked from behind.... depending on the structure and how the zombies can get in so maybe zombies will crawl from holes or tunnels and get behind the defender and since the defender can’t hear anything and maybe one of their own men dies without noticing anything!! So I would say armor is for a “scenario” that has a 17% chance of occurring once each raid... then armor is there for that scenario.
      But scouting is best without armor ( like you said you need best mobility possible)

It is documented that heavy metal armored conquistadors eventually started wearing the central american armors because their giant tin cans basically cooked them alive and was hard to navigate dense jungle and swamp in. While the native armor wasn't as "advanced" it fit the region it was made for by being light and letting air flow.

      A knight in full heavy plated armor with a halberd is definitely slower than a unarmored knight with just a longsword
      Thing is the difference isn't something massive and even if the armor weight makes your stamina drain as if you have a heart disease the fact you don't have to dodge 90% of all incoming blows means you'll still get tired slower than an unarmored dude who must dodge everything or die/lose a limb

      Well... you’d be able to hear them before they even got close enough. No ambush, stealth, or element of surprise.
      When you’re in a forest and you hear “ * clank clank clank * “, start running. Best chance is hiding and making an escape while the tin man gives away his location, but you might have a stamina advantage. Even if they are mobile, having an additional 30-ish pounds to your every movement has to be taxing.
      But I will admit that the thought of hearing steadily approaching clanking is really fucking funny.

      Plate armor does affect speed and dexterity though… the added weight alone inhibits you to some extent even if its not very heavy. You also have to keep in mind the mail and gambeson that you wear underneath. This may all be too specific and nitpicky for DnD rules (I do not play it), but it does seem a bit weird that speed and dexterity wouldn’t be at all affected.

It wasn't as fancy as the stuff this guy was wearing either but it would have weighed roughly the same. So yeah, the guys who are used to wearing that armor could move pretty well in it.
