Summary
VANT-VM and SWAT ballistic shields in the secondary slot, two-handed grip, back carry, five lights and strobe.
Official Workshop description
VANT-VM ballistic shield for Arma Reforger.
Two variants: khaki in the USSR arsenal and black with white SWAT lettering in the US/NATO arsenal. Uses the secondary weapon slot and a two-handed rear crossbar grip. The stowed shield is carried on the back using the stock RPG draw/stow transitions.
Dimensions follow the supplied drawing: 1200 x 470 mm, 28 mm main plate, raised six-sided front, separate lower apron, narrow ballistic window and five compact front lamps. Four nonempty visual LODs retain the shield silhouette.
Lights: use the standard flashlight-toggle action or the shield interaction to cycle OFF > STEADY > STROBE. Bright forward lamps can dazzle observers looking into the beam; walls block the glare. Lights switch off on the back.
Directional protection: the shield blocks bullets across its covered area. Frontal blast protection applies while facing the grenade; rear and side threats remain dangerous.
Version 0.3.1: refined PBR cloth, webbing, rubber and coated metal; corrected UVs and visor-frame overlap; anatomical arm/finger translations preserved; standing/crouching grip stabilized; back carry moved 11 cm closer.
Local Workbench validation: 29 checks, 57 ammunition prefabs, front/rear M67, five lamps/strobe and occluded glare. Multiplayer/JIP, every equipment combination and a fresh close-up gameplay inspection of hand contact remain unverified. Preview images are studio renders of the actual addon model/materials.
Credits: original shield geometry and procedural textures authored for this project from the user-provided VANT-VM drawing and reference photos. Modified sample IK/offset poses are from Bohemia Interactive Arma-Reforger-Samples under the Arma Public License (APL). Native game graphs and draw/stow clips are referenced, not redistributed as extracted source. No third-party shield mesh or photographs are included.
ВАНТ-ВМ: щит во вторичном слоте, хват двумя руками, перенос на спине, хаки для СССР и чёрный SWAT для НАТО. Пять фонарей: выключено / постоянный свет / стробоскоп. Защита от пуль по площади щита и от фронтального взрыва. Перед применением на основном сервере проверьте поведение с вашей экипировкой и набором модов.

0.3.9
Compact Q/E lean with shoulder-span centring and protected head alignment. Lower crouched carry improves boot coverage, with a level-ground clearance constraint. Walk speed increased slightly; running remains disabled while held. Short and held flashlight inputs both cycle OFF > STEADY > STROBE; no ordinary flashlight is drawn while the shield is held. Strobe uses a shared server timestamp at 8 Hz; all five beams and lens emission switch together.
