So you think men with spears should usually pierce armor?

A ST 10 man with a spear held in both hands does 1d+1 damage, or 1d+3 damage on an AoA Strong. The former usually penetrates regular mail. The latter always does.

Why do you imagine armor to be so useless against spears? If the armor was so bad that most attacks penetrated it, then why didn't the men who wore it choose thicker armor?
