Yeah, I already once thought that they were removed cause I couldn't find them in the head armours anymore. Was searching for them in the 10-20 head armour range. This makes absolutely no sense.

I was part of the irc discussion.

Those helmets are apparently heavily armored on the inside - the cloth is only there for looks/probably to keep the sun of the mail.

Yeah tbh I'd rather take a sword swing to the face with that mail coif on than the boerk.

This, which is for all of this type of helmets. They only cover up the top where every other helmet in this class covers neck and sides too.

Gay people were considered cursed in the middle ages, that's why noone wanted to strike at guys wearing those helmets.

Yeah it's the only explanation. Because it's even worse when you see them ingame. They should offer nearly no protection, because the coverage is barely better than that of peasant hats. Secondly, I think the mail coif would need a buff if we considered its historical effectiveness.

Remember that almost every single helmet has a mail coif. It shouldn't give better protection than the helmets with mail coifs and additional stuff, but I do agree it should give WAY more than a bloody cap. Even if the cap has metal in it!

EDIT:
Just found this for the lulz.
Seems like a turban doubles the protection a mail coif gives xD

And the Kettle Helmet (a helmet with a mail coif beneath) gives LESS protection than the mail coif with a turban xD

This shit is just so wrong...

Tbh, there is almost no rhyme or reason to the helmet progression, especially with the medium helms.

The Boerks had a metal helmet inside they did an okay job. The mail coif offers very minimal protection. Anything actauly striking it slaps you in the head, it has no regidity the shock goes straight through into your head. Its use was to stop cuts, a blow to the head would still cause huge amounts of damage.

If we are going to go all, "it doesn't cover the fave its usless" then there are a whole range of helmets that are in the top tier. the Morion for one that offer no protection for the face.
