This is wrong all wrong. Mail armor is best against swinging weapons such as swords, axes, and well anything that can slash and it was weak against stabbing weapons and bludgeoning weapons. Plated armor was weaker against axes and stabbing weapons, it was meh against slashing blades and a beast against bludgeon. That is why axes and halberds became more common in the late middle ages rather then short swords which where replaced by raipiers and thinner swords. If bludgeon was used it was made extremely heavy to break necks and bones that is why we have broad swords.
