So the solution is to have an heavier and so less efficient soldier? This means your soldier will combat for less time, will be able to cover less distancy, will be injured quicly and with less effort from the enemy. Just in case it is true... and it is quite absurd. It is not a mistery that mail was replaced with plate armor several times in the history. When an army had enough organization/logistic to replace it, the plate armor replaced it.
Also, are you able to calculate how much a mail has to be thicker to resist impact Segmentata was able to afford?
