Are the armors from the HYW pack realistic ?

They look very realistic, but only for the XIVth Century, yet the tier 1 unit is used well into the XVIth century.
Were armors like that still in use at this time ?

Wild guess: No (That XVIth century part)
Simply because, EU4 goes units in tiers that change at an exact tech. This goes for way more units/nations that just the HRW. It would be more accurate with 4-5 tiers I guess.
But then again, I don't REALLY know what i'm talking about (Except the tier system isn't always 100% true to it's date.) Sooo - Just a wild guess.

What I find interesting is that theses armors aren't meant to represent knights or cavalry, but common infantrymen ; In this case, these armors, though very XIVth-century looking, might not be completly anachronic for a later XVth century period. Like, the english unit has a common padded jack that was still in use during the War of Roses. But I am not so sure for the others, especially the frenchmen.

Well to be honest the tier 1 and 2 can vary for example most tier 2 units have either a 16th or 17h century look.
