In the books by J. R. R. Tolkien it is called ringmail, which is why I decided to call it as such. The reason why the recipe yields only 4 chainmail pieces is because if it yielded 8, it would be very easy to craft and would probably make it OP. Plate steel is very effective in reality, but it has chinks that you could, in reality, slice, and that would be incredibly hard to code if you wanted to preserve realism. I do see what you are saying, though.
