So talked to my brother.

He said that copper doesn't bend as well, but still a bit, as tin since if you take a tin can and crush it in your hand it bends but it doesn't break persay and that's because of force distribution. So if you have high tin bronze the force is distributed throughout the blade while high copper bronze takes it in certain parts of the blade. Both copper and Tin have similar qualities but Tin has better force distribution.

So when using bronze for armor you want high copper because that hightens the chance of the Breastplate shattering and not caving in restricting your breath. While for blades High-tin is better since the force is distributed throughout the blade.
