Dual scythe wielding viking berserker with two back scabbards in a dungeon full of torches on walls the video game
Is that you Piere?
Typical Frenchman
>I shall now explain to you why this well documented fact about combat is false based on maneuvers I performed while I was in school
Napoleon did nothing wrong.
Torches are really hot and a potential fire hazard, so hanging them indoors is a bad idea.
People in the middle ages rarely used torches as they produced lots of smoke and would burn out in just a few hours. These torches you see in movies use modern materials that weren't available back then. Instead they used candles, oil lamps and lanterns.
You forgot the worst
FIRE FUCKING ARROWS
>vikings
Good.
>berserkers
Those are real.
>back scabbards
That's believable and stylish.
>scythes
Real, they were even featured in a book and there were tutorials to scythe fighting.
>dual-wielding
Also real, although usually sword+dagger or swordbreaker
>torches on walls
Yeah that's dumb and supremely overdone, oil lamps are much cooler anyway.
It's especially retarded when there's torches in a dungeon/castle that is uninhabited for years or decades...
>dual-wielding
>what is sword and shield
>what is sword and buckler
>what is sword and dagger
>what is sword and pistol
>climate change isn't real
Well, at least he got one thing right.
dance school*
I find his hyper-patriotism very amusing, especially considering he looks like an unhinged hobo. It's like he sees his country and culture devolving through multiculturalism and he's losing his mind over it.
>you have to be Zig Forums to like the viking concept
I can tell you take yourself more seriously than anyone else ever could.
I still don't get the anti-dual wield argument. You can use one weapon to parry while using the other one to strike at the same time. You can also use one weapon to force another person to parry it while striking with the other. You can't do the latter with a shield + weapon setup. The shield + weapon is still better, and I would rather have that in a fight, but it's not like dual-wielding is a totally terrible.
That’s why he said scythe, not warscythe.
having to refill your light source fuel must've sucked ass
imagine all that shit burning out and your castle corridors are pitch black
I'm not saying I like vikings or anything.
It's just fine for video game setting material.
Imagine being a patriot for a country of evil cynical subhumans who have been raiding and thieving the globe for centuries.
I only use Halalbards. Everything else is haram.
>metric is rubbish
I mean he's not wrong.
Outside of an actual duel the protection a shield provide outweighs any offensive benefit.
The Grand Armée was the greatest fighting force in European history Lindy
This is a Japanese Napoleon
>no one used horses
Holy shit this is the best one, I remember watching the video on how "horses are inefficient for combat" and how easy it was to spook them but then he said that all of that meant that nobody ever in history had ever used horses or ever made horse armor
>Good
I guess if you're a Zig Forumstard. They were a bunch of petty raiders that lost every time they had to fight against anyone who wasn't an unarmed monk or peasant.
>Those are real.
They were real but the popular conception of them (fearless fighters that went berserk) is wrong.
>That's believable
Eh. It's more practical to use a normal scabbard on your waist
>stylish
That's subjective
>Real
That's true however the book you mention is medieval shitposting
Looks like a Japanese Hitler to me
Yeah, but there’s no reason to exclude dueling or civilian combat. If that were the case, we’d say rapiers and smallswords are useless, as they’re not the best battlefield weapons. But we don’t say that, because we acknowledge their intended use. As such, dual wielding swords would give you a significant advantage over someone with one sword. If civilians carried swords with bucklers, it’s not unreasonable to think they could have carried two swords.
thats the thing with the internet, all these fucktards now have a platform
It's funny when you realise that he's Welsh.
I haven’t watched that video yet, so before I give him any more views than he deserves, be honest with me. Did he actually say that barding doesn’t exist and that horses were never used in combat, or just that there are theoretically some possible problems that are associated with using horses?
>The Churchill was the best tank in WWII
>The English won the Hundreds Years' War
>dunkirk was a british victory
what the fuck, maybe I'll finally give this guy a watch, sounds entertaining.
