From my point of view,The Chinese armour seems slightly worser than the Turky's armour
After the 汉代 ,our metawork standard is decaling but the Turky becomes better and better in the same ages
The armour in cold weapon agecan save many a soilder lifes.
If the armour is light but strong, it can help sioilders move faster to kill the archers and also are resistant to combat.
