How would a modern day monster hunter armour look like...

Like a mall ninja.

Bite/stab resistant shirt, Kevlar plate vest, etc

Good. Real fucking. So god damn good. You have no idea what hardness and energy are. What would steel and kevlar do that ceramic doesnt?
>y..you can break ceramic by lightly hitting it :^)
Its not a coffee mug, genius. Do some research. We dont issue ceramic plate to every soldier because its fucking expensive. Ceramics are rated for multiple hits the same way steel is. Even ar500 will fail after repeated hits of heavy caliber.

>You have no idea what hardness and energy are.
>hardness
>even relevant to the discussion
It's not about hardness, it's about strength.

Can it withstand the battering ram going at you at 60 km/h?

If a monster got close enough to you for armor to matter, you are already fucked.

Hardness is a poetion of "strength". The amount of force a material can withstand before elastically deforming is literally called "hardness". If ypur armor isnt hard, any object with suffiecient energy will peal apart like a nanner.
Considering pressure is the determining factor of armor failure, and that a .308 diameter projectile traveling at 3,291 KM/hr has MUCH higer pressure than a battering ram and ceramic plate stops it no problem, yeah. Id say so. The question is, would the victim's body survive the sudden acceleration due to the battering ram having greater inertia than the victim's body? You can defeat any armor by slingshotting the inhabitant like a rag doll.

Diamonds are hard. You can shatter a diamond with a hammer. Steel is strong. You can MAYBE dent steel with a hammer. Very important difference.

Wow, its almost like brittlenes is also a measurable factor of material science, and is the measure of force required before a material shears or fractures. Its almost like that is another co ponent of the abstracted value of "strength". Man, it would be really easy if someone came up with some kind of codified measure of modern armor based on the force it can withstand. Some kind of objective comparison...And its REEALLY too bad that the brittleness of metal increases along with its hardness, almost like steel plates are carefully hardened to produce the most efficient combination of hardness and brittleness.

So you admit that hardness isn't relevant to the discussion, then?
