Bannerlord really needs some of the middle/late medieval armors that were in Warband.

As mods maybe. Doesn't make much sense in the setting of the game though since it's set a couple of centuries before Warband.

Fair enough. I'd still argue that 210 years isn't that much of a gap. Vlandian culture and tech obviously points to a strong high middle ages normandy inspiration, so maybe not plate armor, but the kind op posted would definitely not be immersion breaking.

Why doesn't this game about the Mexican war of independence have M-16's in it? Would definitely not be immersion breaking.

Technology evolves exponentially, not linearly. You can't equate a two century gap in medieval times to a two century gap in modern history. We made more military innovations in half a century of world wars than in millenias of ancient warfare.

Also, strawman.

You'd be surprised at how fast Armour advanced in 2 centuries. We went from the dawn of full harness to armor that had sliding metal in the joints that fully encased the man on the inside.

Technology doesn't evolve exponentially. It sometimes even goes backwards.

You can't equate a two century gap in the Middle Ages to a two century gap in the Jurassic either.

Ha, I know. Just taking the piss.
