>When it comes to RPG games, do you feel that more realistic design choices in arms/armor/clothing make the game better or more immersive?
No, because the reason weapons and armor was designed that way IRL doesn't necessarily apply in a different historical setting. It would also be jarring since weapon and armor design also depends on region, resources and such.
It's just as absurd as saying sci-fi guns should look like AK-47's to make it more "realistic" and "immersive", when it does the exact opposite.
