Basically it was used under armor, but i would wanna see it in game,to be in use i as normal clothing.It was also used in sowrd excersises, so maybe in arena fights and in training grounds,where you are normaly naked, you would now wear this arming jacket.

Cuirassers were melee cavalry. They - like most cavalry - were never intended to trade gunfire with an enemy. They were intended to get in close and use their swords against the swords of other cavalry, or bayonets of infantry.
In such melee, the cuirass became a real advantage.
Against musketry or even pistol-fire it was useless, since their horses were unarmoured, and much bigger targets. Infantrymen were trained or ordered to aim at the horses most of the time for the simple reason that the bigger target was easier to hit. The trooper's breastplate would be no help if his horse was shot.

because on the later (16th century+) quarter style plate armours chain was no longer seen as necessary and was in some circles considered a hindrance, it was faster and more economical to produce mass production style plate armours than it was to produce chain on a large scale, Brussels was very much the center for mass production. they used very advanced techniques in its production. as i am sure we all know how labor intensive making maile can be especially considering no automation existed for riveting or joining the links. however by the late 16th mass production of plate was becoming easier.
it also had to be said that due to the weapons of the day, maile was almost ineffective against the more recent weapons being used.

-All type of armors with leather in it should also have dark leather armors.Same for leather boots, gloves,helms and caps...
Same goes for Dark steel...
These stuff are for archers,or light infarty.Dont like to see them in heavy armors (maybe one type of crossbowmens can have heavy,other ranged units,should be light or medium eqipped...)
Also, we lack of varieties of armors and clothing(for all units), so different units dont differ beetwen each other much (what i really miss)
How are we supposed to implement regional units, if they even wouldnt differ much beetwen???

Rexxar, none of those links worked on my computer.

Because you screwed up the links.
The first one should look like this:
http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/14th-century-leather-breastplate-2573.html
And should work.
The last one like this:
http://maskworld.scene7.com/is/image/maskworld/104363-mittelalter-wams-schnallen-braun-medieval-jerkin-brown-buckles-brown
The one for the brigandine didn't work, and you posted the same links for both "cotehardie", and "medieval Jerkin with buckles brown". The second one in my post.
When you try to link something, be sure to get the link right and only post it once. You've posted the first one three times in a row, which screws it up, when clicking on it. And when using google, remove the frame before copying the link.
What with a cotehardie being a piece of clothing, rather similar to a short robe, I'm guessing that one is the wrong term too.

How about some English Civil War coats?
The current studded leather coat would be a good starting point. A buff-leather or grey-wool texture, maybe add a ruff at the neck, and an optional powder/shot bag or belt over one shoulder?
And maybe a 'musketeer' style tabard? I'm not sure how common these were outside the 3 musketeer films, but they look good and could be set to the tableau textures, so that each lord's badge appears on the tabard.
