In real life,
Plate mail (and noble knights wearing plate mail) sucks. Because it's unbelieveable heavy, it disincreases your movement ability. A schitar or cutlass and a light but protective armour (which made of elephant's ears-do you know who are using these armors?) can be much better for fighting. And we all know that the heavy infantries (crusaders) had very hard time during the crusades.
