Landsknecht vs Knight

A while back me and a few friends got together to do some armoured fencing. As I only have a Landsknecht half armour and they can rock up in full sets of armour, we thought it would be fun to do a comparison. It’s difficult to draw any really hard conclusions, but we got the feeling that Landsknecht armour keeps you in the fight reasonably well, but any hits you do take would end up being quite serious because of all the big openings.
