the hounskull bascinet is objectively far better than that stupid bucket of a helmet that people call a "Great" helm. Great helm? more like STUPID helm. it's top is FLAT and therefore if you get hit over the head you DIE from the concussive shock of a piece of metal striking you over the head. with a PEAK bascinet, the weapon just glances off of the rounded top. the hounskull can literally deflect ARROWS, can that ugly great helm deflect ARROWS? I THOUGHT NOT. "oh but muh crusades" YOU MEAN THE ONES YOU LOST??? MAYBE BECAUSE YOUR HELMETS SUCKED AND SALADIN HAD BETTER ARMOR, IDIOTS (also it was like 1099 all they had were buckets on their heads and chainmail shirts lol) "b-b-b--b-b-b-b--b-b-b-b-but muh christianity" A HOUNSKULL WAS ALSO USED BY CHRISTIANS IN THE 13TH CENTURY I HATE THE GREAT HELM I HATE IT ITS USED BY EDGELORDS I HAATE ITTT
