Advanced Modular Helmet

«

The LDF has access to brand-new advanced modular combat helmets. Besides basic uncovered / covered versions, there are two levels of enhanced protection provided by optional ear protectors and full chops. Standard accessory rails allow for mounting cameras, lights, and so on. Field Manual

The Advanced Modular Helmet is a ballistic-resistant helmet used by the Livonian Defense Force in ArmA 3. It was added with the release of the Contact DLC.

Overview

This is a premium asset that requires ownership of the Contact expansion pack.

Standard-issue combat helmet of the Livonian Defense Force, the Advanced Modular Helmet combines a canvas cover with a hardened aramid shell. The regular model with only an olive-coloured canvas cover weighs a "mass" of 30 units, while the sub-variant fitted with a headset weighs 35 "mass" instead.

Essentially the LDF's equivalent of the Combat Helmet worn by their American allies, the Advanced Modular Helmet is virtually identical in all aspects save for appearance. Both Advanced Modular Helmet variants are rated at Level II protection standards.

As a result, its protective qualities are quite mediocre and won't stop much more than a single 6.5 mm rifle bullet at non-point blank ranges. It does not protect against 7.62 mm DMR rounds unless their velocity has dropped to extremely low levels.

Variants

Chops

Advanced Modular Helmet (Chops)
Faction	LDF
Armour rating	Level II
Mass	50
Games

This is a premium asset that requires ownership of the Contact expansion pack.

The Chops variant is fitted with two extended cheek plates which cover most of the wearer's face. It has a weight of 50 "mass" units. This model's sole advantage stems exclusively from the two plates, which offer some degree of protection to indirect explosions.

However, the chops are not intended to provide cover against ballistic projectiles as their base armour values are even less than that of NATO's Light Combat Helmet. At most, the wearer could potentially survive a hit from a 9 mm round at distances of beyond 400 metres; at point blank ranges, the chops offer little more protection than a paper hat.

Ear Protectors

Armour rating	Level II
Mass	40
Games

This is a premium asset that requires ownership of the Contact expansion pack.

Fitted with ballistic guards on both sides of the helmet, the Ear Protectors variant provides increased surface coverage of the wearer's head. This modification comes at a cost of 10 additional "mass" units (totalling to 40).

However, the Ear Protectors still do little to increase the wearer's survivability to gunfire. In all other aspects, there is not much of an improvement over the baseline Advanced Modular Helmet.

Camouflage

• Geometric: Forest green coloured rails and canvas cover with woodland-themed camouflage applied intended to mimic the LDF's Geometric pattern.
• Olive: Pale green canvas cover with forest green-coloured rails.

Trivia

• Advanced Modular Helmets appear to be modelled after "HP-05" ballistic helmets designed by MASKPOL S.A., a protective gear manufacturer based in Poland.
• It is misleadingly described as a Level III-rated helmet. In practice, its protection standards and base armour value make it no better than a Level II-rated helmet (for both regular and modified variants).
