Is multicam the best camo for most environments?
>>
>>32443402
For concealing yourself in a green woodland or jungle, the camouflage should be orange.
>>
>Is Atacs a meme?
Wouldnt have thought so, look like it would work well enough based on your pic.
>Is multicam the best camo for most environments?
No, its horrid in actual green (as opposed to "green", like iraq or colorado) environments

This.

>>32443402
There are "tropic" (forest), "arid" (desert), and a snow version of Multicam for that reason. Multi cam was designed for Afghanistan, and it works well in other places that are dry but have vegetation. It's good all around but it's not better than a specific forest pattern for forests, etc.

Pic related; man with pixelated face and Muticam Tropic.

Multimeme would probably work best in a semi arid environment like pic related
>>
Trying to find camo that works in all or even "most" environments is a fool's endeavor rivaling the search for the philosopher's stone.
>>
>>32443627

Adidas jacket, jeans and sneakers is universal cammo
>>
>>32443606
If it's an all-terrain pattern, why do they need specialized versions?
>>
>>32444385

In all honesty, cammo is extremely limited in usefulness even in military affairs.

Only first line combatants should be issued cammo.

I'd dress the rest as local civilians or enemy soldiers.
>>
>>32444382
Because its an all terrain pattern, not an all terrain palette.
>>

>2017-5
>First world militaries not issuing HSLD adidas tracksuits & shoes as their uniforms.

The biggest plus besides being OAF is it works as a combat uniform & as a dress uniform

sorry forgot a space earlier & fucked it up 2nd try is le charm
>>
>>32444398
wouldn't that run afoul of laws of war? Engaging in combat dressed as a civi? I reckon it'd be ok as long as you don't have to shoot any sand niggers or real niggers
>>
>>32444414

SF does it all the time.

Who cares.

If they say a range of 500 tops and 500 trousers qualify as the official combat uniform I dont see how they can't pull it off.

>Laws of war

Top meme, lad.

Wouldn't it be more effective both in terms of camouflage and cost to issue soviet style camouflage coveralls?
You make cheap, light, one size fits all camo jumpsuits that go over a simple khaki or whatever uniform in a pattern that is ideally suited to the AO.

What's /k/s opinion on ASAT?

>>
>>32444439
Perhaps if it was still the cold war this would have merit, but when your environments are exclusively in sandniggerstan countries, you can afford to specialize.
>>
>>32444439

I'm surprised why they dont copy animals more.

Lions, leopards, gazelles, foxes etc....

They are almost invisible in the wild.
>>
>>32443615
But dats Africa!
How would rhodie cam stack against multicam or the British version of multicam (uses brushstrokes and is greener)

There's an info graphic somewhere that explains it better than I can (and of course I can't find it right now) but:

Multicam's selling point is that in differing lighting conditions, different parts of the pattern stand out. I've noticed that in sunny and bright conditions, the yellows and tans dominate; the greens dominate in shadow. Multicam does this more than other patterns I've noticed, hence the name.

Multicam is not perfect but it works great in some areas (I live in the Mojave desert, which has lots of tan, brown, and dead green vegetation.) It's marketed as all-purpose, but think of it as all-terrain tires. They work decently everywhere, but on a race track you want racing slicks, on snow you want snow tires, etc.
>>
>>32445649
That's marketing for you. Every camouflage pattern looks amazing on the manufacturer's website.
>>
>>32443583
>still better than UCP
>>
>>32443583
Unless you plan to fight (and die) in a tree, you ought to blend in to the forest floor.
>>
>>32443583
That's not CADPAT, that's the Estonian pattern.

atacs fg material is literally so cheap because no one wants it that it is used as a filler material in tactical gear. if there is a layer of material you wont see on the finished product its often filled with atacs material.

Not really, Michiganfag here, multicam with pic related is actually decent for winter, but kinda shit during summer, except for dunes. The tans/browns really match with a lot of dead shrubbery. ATACS-FG is bretty good spring-summer.
>>
More important than the pattern is how you put it to use. There's this Brent or Bret guy on YouTube who displays different camos. Whenever he hides well he's almost invisible, no matter the pattern. When he hides badly, he's always visible, no matter the pattern.

It's pattern was heavily based off of cadpat.

And that's not "multimeme" either, is it you dipshit?

You want to buy some? Direct from a ukranian stock room. Not commercial pig-tac shit. The real deal.

ATACS is rubbish that blobs out past 10m
Multicam and MTP are pretty decent but not magic
