I have heard the rumor of shield defense being negated when firing into the flank, and also seen the effect on the field. I haven't done any hardcore research, but I definately believe that firing into the flank gets rid of the shield bonus.

right flank. the shield protects the left flank as they hold the shield in their left hand. at least thats what i heard.

and also, in melee combat when you attack the flanks: defensive value for attacking their left flank, armor + shield; their right flank, armor + defensive skill. at least thats what i heard.
