Are you talking about what looks good for ceremonies and marching, or what is effective?
The US has about half of the world's most effective camos, mainly the desert variants.
No one will ever beat the aesthetic of WW2 Germany though, prove me wrong.
As far as the most intimidating, ROC special forces come in at #1 for sure.
Literally RWDS, asian edition.
That being said, the only camos you'll ever need are
>Cadpat
>Marpat
>Finnish M05
>German Flecktarn
>Rhodesian brushstroke
and any russian border patrol snow camo, it's like light blue and pink on a white background, which blends in with pure arctic conditions EXTREMELY well.
>>32836682
agreed, objectively most aesthetic
>>32836611
I hate the patrol cap. Hell I'd even say go back to the beret but black people had no concept of how to wear them correctly. It's like they didn't understand you need to spend some time in shaping them.
I actually like the USMC pointed patrol cap or make it normal ball cap. Either way the PC is fucking stupid.
>>32836611
I could do without the beret, but whatever.

I've been in since BDU's and don't ming the new uniforms actually. I do wish hey were made of the same material as summer weight BDU's but overall a big improvement from UCP ACU's
>>32836783
It needs to be converted to an OCP (INB4 Scorpion II autism attack) version of the old summer patrol cap. Berets were dog shit and should not be a part of any uniform except for the special kid units that get them. If you want a beret as part of your work uniform, go be a ranger or join a yuro army.

>>32837174

In germany we need to wear the beret, because Schirmmützen aren't issued anymore. You have to purchase them yourself.
Bring back woodland and 6-color desert/3-color desert.

He's right. It may not suck at the mall, but it wasn't particularly good for the desert. Something that breathed better would be. So would optional fucking shorts like other militaries. Montgomery's forces in North Africa really dressed for the desert.
Most comfy US unform since WWII? OG507 for lightweight and cheap enough to destroy without blowing your uniform allowance. Most comfy BDU was the woodland hot weather ripstop. Cold weather BDUs last much longer but aren't close to being as comfortable.

why do the bongs think this looks good? If you're going to keep the practical military uniforms of the 19th century around to the point where they're hilariously impractical, why not also arm them with 19th century weapons? They should be able to scrounge up a Martini-Henry or two.

The individual service uniforms have literally wasted billions of dollars for literally zero gain. They're more expensive, less robust, and less effective than what their predecessor.
>What you lose esprit de corps
What esprit de corps? Inter-service infighting is worse than ever. If anything, given special snowflake uniforms to each branch makes esprit de corps worse because it's no longer "you're all serving one nation, you wear the same uniform" but a dumbass contest to see who's more fashionable.
tl;dr put down the crack pipe faggot.
>>32836682
Common misconception that Hugo Boss designed the Nazis uniforms. Boss was a manufacturer (one of many) but not the designer. They were designed by the services themselves and of course had heavy influence from previous German uniforms.

>>32845733
MTP is effective outside of europe.
DPM is far better in every terrain. DPM works perfectly in the UK and mainland Europe, because that's what it was designed for during the cold war. Using MTP in the forests of Germany looks absolutely ridiculous and sticks out like a sore thumb. It barely works in a wheat field.
DPM-D worked perfectly in Iraq, and was considered the most effective camo used by NATO in Iraq. MTP works effectively in Afghanistan, and that's it.
However, no doubt that MTP PCS and smocks are so much better than the DPM 95's.
>>32845561
Virtus looks so fucking stupid.
It's worse than Osprey also.
>>32851456
Before serving in an apache, he was a lieutenant in the Life Guards I think, who did foot patrols in Afghanistan, Helmand.
>>32850217
Late Cold War US gear is aesthetic af.
>>32837699
That fuckin' third reich aesthetic though.
>>32858855
From personal experience, I would argue that MTP, whilst not disguising you against the welsh hills or pine trees of the UK's training areas as perfectly as DPM, works far far better when you're doing the sand track/scrub/treeline transitions. It works across a better range of terrains, but that's just personal opinion.
Pretty sure the PCS smocks are one of the first items of issue tissue that universally pretty much everyone has gone 'yup, that's nice, I'll keep that'.
Except for the paras and their snowflake smocks...

You still need camo to train, and in the off chance the unit has to deploy suddenly. Creating yet another uniform that can only be worn in garrison just further complicates logistics. There would also need to be a large stockpile of camies in the event of a largescale deployment, so at that point you might as well issue them out to everyone and avoid the time constraints of suddenly equipping hundreds of thousands all at once. There is no reason to not make the guy at IPAC wear the same camies as the grunt bitching about his pay.
