They were useful in sieges in order to lay fire in towns and castles. And they were useful when combined with hot oil, often used in castle defense.
But in open field battle? Not so much.
Be sure to aim for the visor or face when the visor is up.

That is all.

Some depictions in art and practical experience reveal that visors were most often down when advancing upon an enemy with missile troops or when charging on horseback. When in close combat many would raise it because the little protection it offered would be well traded for nearly full visibility and the ability to breath properly, and you had a better chance to defend your face with your weapon.
I really wonder how it affect this game, whether a visor down might make it harder to catch a breath or reduce visibility like in War of the Roses.
