No armour would give a speed effect, chain would give NO speed effect, and chain/plate would have the same protection against punches/fall damage/explosions but most sharp weapons would be able to pierce chainmail and do more durability damage while heavy weapons would be able to smash in plate armour, but chain armour wouldn't get pierced by them. I mean, chain and plate made from similar materials would give similar protection. Think about it. If you have a heavy weapon, it would be absorbed by the flexibility of chain while sharper weapons would pierce the mail. In plate, sharper weapons would bounce off but weapons like hammers were used almost purely for smashing plate armour.
