This is not true on p99, or at least any softcap that does exist is higher than the squelch point for mobs in the mid-40s. You can see that thread I linked for the details, but the effect of AC was the same across leather, chain, plate classes.

According to one of the P99 devs, there is a softcap:

There is a component to your defense rating based on level.
And we use a softcap system, not a hardcap based system.
Warriors get a 45% return above softcap.
Adding a shield increases ur softcap.
Based on new formulas from soe, i am removing the level part from defense rating. And increasing the ac component by 4/3. This helps ac mean more, and you get hit harder naked.
Other changes that are on beta, is iksar ac bonus is moved to be equal to level, 10 min, 35 max. Previously it was level/2. Not 15 like wiki had i guess.
At low levels the softcap is more level based than defense based. I basically doubled transition so at low levels ac means more.
I added a low level raw ac cap of level * 6 + 25.
It looks better now and i can see ac scaling damage up to soft cap, and lesser reductions above softcap.

But this post was from 2014, so it is certainly possible something changed over 10 years.
Honestly I don't think anybody has done a proper test on softcaps, especially in the last few years.
