As I remember such things in other games platemail was usually great against crushing, but slightly susceptable to piercing weapons that came in thru the chinks. Chainmail was better vs piercing but more susceptable to crush. Both had some armor defense against everything, just slight advantages vs some.

Even if I accepted that plate armor is worse against 'piercing' than chainmail (which it isn't), what about the fact that most plate armors were worn with a secondary layer of chainmail underneath? Are we going to give all knights two armor Ratings?
