I don't even understand the reason for upkeep. Makes it more interesting? More realistic? I don't understand.
If it is to balance tin cans carrying 2h swords or becs, then it's a misdirected attempt at fixing a problem without looking at the real issue, which isn't the amount of armor they have, but the fact that they can even move on foot. When I first played this mod, I chuckled a bit to myself when I saw a black armor wearing guy chase down a peasant and proceed to kill them with a sword and shield with lightning fast speed.
I don't know if anyone else paid attention in school, but that kind of armor was only meant to be used on a horse... a 10 year could outrun anyone decked out in plate. The fact that they can swing weapons with any amount of speed is kind of ridiculous. It'd be like C-3P0 on speed. Why that armor doesn't have some sort of enormous movement and swing speed penalty is beyond me... but therein lies your problem - dudes running around in the heaviest of armor, swinging the heaviest of weapons with no penalty. It's just silly. Fix that and your tin can problem is gone.
