Armor value in this game has always been, for a lack of a better word, dog****. It's been like that in the Beta, and it is like that now. But recently, the amount of damage your armor actually absorbs is basically non-existent. Since the last few patches, the damage heavy infantry takes per hit, has been through the roof, to a point where one hit by either a Vlandian or Khuzait Mace does like 70 damage... TO HEAVY INFANTRY. Don't believe me? Take a look!
https://gyazo.com/60f7b4fb3eab663c642b663940b4e980 [70 damage + 34 damage that has been absorbed... This game is actually trying to tell me, that a single mace hit does 104 damage to people without armor xDDD]
https://gyazo.com/aa9c1318284f67a50d8712ebca0486fb [Always lovely to deal 101 damage to someone who has just spawned.. with a spatha... a sword that's as long as the knife I use to cut pizza in half] -.-

That's about as realistic as the announcement of the EA ending in March 2021.. oh wait]
I have been playing Mount & Blade Warband for many many years, and I have never come across as much bull**** as in this game. On Warband (Native and/or PW) an infantryman in full tincan was able to take at least three, and in most cases even four or five hits, before he would die (With maces that is). On Bannerlord, most heavy infantrymen die in 2 hits and rarely in more than that. I'm not even gonna touch on Voulges (which actually onehit heavy inf sometimes) right now, because that would probably make me put my head into a fountain of acid.
At this moment in the game, playing any heavy infantry class equals running around as a naked peasant. Might as well give everyone an admin sword [for all those who haven't played PW or Mercs, an admin sword is an insanely fast weapon, that onehits anything and everything... kinda sounds like the Voulge, ik]... the result of a fight would be the same.
Infantry has always been the weakest class in the game, but right now it's basically unplayable, because armor is absolutely useless. Sure, that's the case for every class, but at least the weapons of ranged units and cavalry do actual damage, and don't blunt hit someone in a linen tunic.
So please, for the love of all the butter flowing in the Vlandian lands, fix armors... #MakeArmorGreatAgain.
