What is the most effective multi terrain camouflage pattern (including against night visions), regardless of aesthetics?

>>34651589
totally dependent on environment and season, no camo is best camo. Go watch some of brent0331's videos on youtube, plethora of different camos and their effectiveness in different wooded environments.
Alpenflage was surprisingly effective.
>>34651589
>>34651734
Multi terrain also implies multi season, even though that will obviously be less effective.
Brent's vids don't take into account night-vision resistance.
>>34651673
Doesn't night vision camouflage have more to do with a special coating added to the fabric than a particular pattern? I have a multicam suit which supposedly camouflages against night vision.
Auscam (camo used by the Australian Army) is actually extremely effective in either arid country like most of Australia or anywhere with a lot of leaf-litter
>>34651734
>>34651773
Alpenflagge was originally designed by the Nazis to defeat early nigh vision devices. And to be a all terrain all season camo for greater Europe.
ive never seen anything work better than Auscam, the warmer colours make a big difference when compared with other woodland type camo's
ACU is the best.
>>34651734
Alpenflage is excellent in places that tend to have lots of leaves on the ground, or where there is little green foliage on the ground.
Some other great camos can be sourced from Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Germany. Some meh camos are DPM, Belgian Jigsaw, French CCE, and other camos that have too dark colours in them. Honestly, you just have to realize the terrain in your backyard and find a uniform to go with it.

This is the first time ive ever posted in a "camo thread". This isnt even a regular topic here so get your fist out of your ass.
In my local surp store I found this never used/washed brown dominate erdl jacket from '79 I think. It needs to be faded some more though so it'll work excellent
>He doesn't wear cuepat2
>>34652446
I think we can agree that it is indeed the best camo for stalking about grandma's house.
>>34652446
ACU is the uniform cut, UCP is the name of the camo
>>34651939
No, it is -my understanding- that the farther you see the pattern, the more it merges into a single color, and that makes it stand up more to NV, so the pattern needs to adress that, and that is the reason for black stripes like in Woodland or Alpenflage.
>>34652124
Yes, but do you think it is still the best in that regard, or multicam-like pattern are better since then? Alpenflage looks to dark for anything else than inside a shady wooden place.
>>34652446
The worst*
I love AridFlecktarn (pic related), but being a commercial pattern, I am not sure about its NV capabilities.
>>34652832

That might be so in the past, but in modern camouflage it's in fact a coating.
>>34651958
Based on the old USMC duck hunter.
Auscam is great stuff in the scrub, especially when well worn and faded.
>>34652600
> mfw
>>34652843
Isn't it both?
Pic related is quick test I did today wit what I have. Overall, multicam was the best except always a bit too bright, CCE came second, Flecktarn was not that bad but always too dark, the others were unefficient, particularly digital (even on a sand/rock surface).
>>34651589
As far as universal patterns go, Multicam and Auscam can actually hold up in almost environment.
As far as specific environments go, Alpenflage is fucking great stuff for the mountains and it holds up for almost all seasons there, especially for a group, where it would appear as a few patches without snow cover, rather than one oddly human sized patch.
>>34652755
Works fantastic in much of southern Idaho. Sagebrush and dry grass is basically UCP and it only gets better the drier it gets. Just stay away from the rivers/greenery and you're good. Also matches some tree barks pretty well.
If I had to pick a best camo I'd go with A-TACS AU or FG. When I used to airshit I damn near stepped on a guy wearing that shit. Marpat and multicam are amazing too.
>>34653018
I have actually seen it work innawoods.
It was late fall and sperg nat guard friend insisted on wearing his uniform. He strolled off to take a piss and I didn't realize he was back until he was less than 10 feet from me.
I don't know what made it work, but it just did. He was fucking invisible in it. Maybe they only activate the invisibility for active issue equipment.

>>34653045
I've made UCP work in some trees once myself but most places we went airshitting were garbage for UCP with nothing but massive amounts of greenery. Hugged a tree and a hardcore player with his fancy sniper couldn't see me aside from the stream of BBs flying at his general direction. Lighter tree bark and dry wood does amazing things. He also probably learned to be quiet as fuck. I still need to go out innadesert and take pictures standing, kneeling, and prone in my airshit setup. Hopefully going to use it for hunting bambi sometime this year.
>>34653066
>Bright Red and weird browns
>The middle of European winter
It's more likely than you think
Many parts of Europe (including the "low" parts of Switzerland) are only sporadically snowy in the winter. A red & brown dominant pattern is ideal for the conditions, as you have lots of dead grass and fallen leaves all over the place. The red adds contrast without standing out much.
>>34653627
Took me a while to find the hidden guy!
>>34653705
Bitch you best not be fucking with me.
I've always seen a shitload of instances where multicam is displayed as the "better" all around camo, now this thread seems to be making a good case for US4CES.
Which one is easier to buy?
>>34653762
>not activating your thermal sights while browsing the interwebspace
>>34653627
>Lots of dead grass and fallen leaves
Michigander here, multicam is actually a pretty ideal pattern for winter around here (Coupled with a nice whiteish winter poncho, of course) Pretty much perfect for early spring.
Leaves lose their color pretty fast after they've been on the ground for ~a month. You'd stick out pretty bad walking around in Alpenflage in winter. But yeah maybe winter in Northern Italy or Coratia would work pretty well with it. Cannot see it being worth a shit in any area that gets significant snowfall.
I like m05.
>>34652624
You're a bad liar.
>>34654012
Snow version is good too, at least in nordic forests.
>>34654123
...as is the frosted forest / early winter variant.
>>34654133
It's a bit dark for proper frost, to be honest. It's more suited for very light snowfall.

Its called irr or infra red reflective treatment and all issue cammo has it from the cold war on. should not be wahed in other than plain soap flakes no brighteners etc.

As far as one single multipurpose camouflage, multicam/OCP/skorpion/whatever is still the best. If you can switch patterns depending on location or time of year, then there are better options.

Why do the tactical fags seem to shit on hunter camo like realtree and what not? I've never hunted, but if you're mainly going to be in the woods, they seem pretty effective.
>>34651589

>>34659424
Is that common military folklore? I was one of the first soldiers issued ACU's in basic, and we were all bitching about how they don't camouflage worth a shit. One of our drills said they are supposed to take up the color of our environment when we are rolling around in the dirt and such. I never noticed it really work though.
>>34659409
They're very effective when you're perfectly still against the specific backdrop they were designed for, but in any other context they suck hairy nuts compared to normal camo.
>>34659454
>One of our drills said

>>34659501
When you are 18 and in basic, drills are the smartest idiots in the room.
>>34659501
not that guy, but UCP actually does work when it gets all dirty. i doubt it was designed for that though.
i had a drill tell me once that UCP was digital because it was designed so satellites could recognize it from space
>>34659409
tactical fags like this guy >>34659492 think they are teir one spec ops and will fighting in many different places once the zombies come and they can finally be heros (and lose thier virginity)

That was another one too, I'd forgotten that nugget of wisdom,
>>34659492
camouflage doesn't work if you're moving, regardless of pattern, human eye is designed to pick up movement.
best camo is not being seen.
>>34659529
as someone who has been hunted while evading in UCP, the only thing you can do is roll around in dirt and try to get it dirty, smear some ash on it as well.

>>34661377
>>Why? Do deer perceive human outlines differently than people do?
That`s one of the reasons. Animals DO have different vision from humans and different reflexes. In addition, military cammo is more or less multi-terrain and designed not only to conceal stationary position, but also break shilouette while you move. That means that in specific terrain and without movement, it will allways loose to hunter cammo, made specially for this terrain.

Just to make sure that you understand. "From afar", the eye catches mostly the motion, not the color difference. That means, that you can be perfectly camouflaged with single-color BDU (Like Jews still use), as long as you are being still. And use the landscape, damn it. Multi-colored patterns are usefull at shot to medium range. And digital flora is pretty much ok at that.

Seriously no love for JGSDF camo? Stuff works pretty amazing imo. Superior coloration than flecktarn which is too dark for most places.
>>34674100
Because they need/want "new" and want to look more "modern". I've noticed this is the reason why a lot of militaries replaced camo even though a current or now previous pattern worked really well. Gotta be /fa/ bruh.
>>34674790
It's almost as if different regions need different camouflages.
>>34659409
The hunting patterns are super specific to terrain, time of year and time of day. They usually only match up well like in your pic for a few hours a year total.
>>34674869
>Because they need/want "new" and want to look more "modern"
the new pattern doesn't look new and modern at all

Seems like some branch specific vanity camo like the navy and plan marines. Also no one said it had to be effective.

Nature's figured that shit out hundreds and thousands of years ago.
If you want to find out what good camo looks like, just look for anything that gets hunted by raptors and other birds. They have better vision than we do, see in color, and hunt in the same environments we're trying to stay hidden in. The key to good camo isn't some stupid fucking computer "dot" design, it's simply looking at what nature has already made that works.
Pic related: fence lizards get hunted by everything, and yet they're all over the place in the east. Snakes, like rattlers and Fer De Lance, are both prime game for raptors like red tail hawks when they're young. There's countless examples in nature to choose from that are all better than the shit any given military uses.

Camo based on toads. But you're right, no animal in nature that is camouflaged uses the color green for some reason, just varying shades of brown. This is likely due to camo patterns having to hide someone in the woods while also standing out on the clothing rack.
>>34681057
>no animal in nature that is camouflaged uses the color green for some reason, just varying shades of brown.
Nah, there's a bunch of critters that use green of various shades as camo.

Well, that`s the idea. All militaries around the world trying to develop a camo, most usefull on their own soil... Save for US of A. Well, you can continue the thought.

Pretty sure both were made by the same dude, but he wanted a fuckload of money for royalties for what US4CES is based on, so the army said fuck off, did a few tweaks and rolled out the patterns they'll be using now.
He also wanted to jew the government on the multicam royalties, or we probably keep using that since it seems to work pretty well.
>>34678397
you don't know that they just introduced a new pattern this year
>>34651734
severely underrated for basically 5-6 months out of the year in just about any appalachian forest. and even after spring when some green returns
ukrainian varan camo (right)

Well shit, not surprised though
I'm a massive fan of the new AMCU
Auscam was great but AMCU did a damn good job of stepping up to the mark
Once this shit gets a little dirty its fucking amazing
What do you think is the best camo for california?

Personal experience with both. Simply checking out places with your own eyes and realizing that the colors of jgsdf's camo match more green places unlike flecktarn which is suited for a dark forest like those in Germany. Realization that it's easier for a lighter color to get darker than for a darker color to get lighter to match your environment.
Don't now about effective but aesthetically pleasing and gives me tight pant groupings.
>>34674753
Not with the modern shit as you show...
Now the old snowcamo on the other hand...
M05 without a doubt.

>>34652548
French is more versatile than DPM or Jigsaw.
It's like US woodland but more earth toned.
UCP vs. eastern fence lizard
>>34679078
those are some fucked up teeth
Gents,
Does any uniform camouflage use counter shading?
In most images of soldiers standing they seem to be kinda skylined against the lighter background. Would it make sense to have the helmet be a lighter shade progressively getting darker to the pant legs? Doesn't have to be an insane gradient but at least some? Also, would having the armpit/knee/crotch area a bit lighter also counter shadows in those areas?
>>34685182

>>34687055
i see what you're tying to do but that's not a good way to see how effective camo is. it's more than just pattern and color, you have to see how light and perspective work against it.
you might like pencott greenzone, i think it takes some ideas from natural camouflage and does a pretty good job
>>34688508
Is that the camo that was very effective when it was covered by a fallen tree trunk?
>>34661352
>Hunting in military cammo is mostly as stupid, as going to war in hunters cammo.
US Navy SEALs have been using "Mossy Oak" civvie hunting pattern BDUs and web gear for 10+ years now, for environments where it is useful.
https://geardoshit.wordpress.com/2011/06/10/civvy-hunting-camo-in-afghanistan/
There's nothing magical about a camouflage pattern that makes it "only for fooling deer" or "only for fooling people."
Crypsis, mimesis, disruption. Hide from sight by imitating commonplace things in the environment, or by breaking up the distinctive outline with contrasting colors--or both at once.
>>34687433
French "CCE" is basically US M81 Woodland roughly doubled in all dimensions, to break up outlines at greater distances, with larger black patches.
>>34687819
No. Imagine one soldier standing up and another one prone beside him and you'll immediately understand why.

I think he tried to explain it the wrong way.
There are animals that use warn colors like green or orange to scare off potential predators. If the bluff or not is another story.

>>34689509
We're replacing our beloved rabbit, jelly bean and dick shapes with the standard multicam pattern in the Auscam colours.
God save us all.
>>34652446
Daily reminder than ucp is the same set of colors found on u.s. legal tender, a sick practical joke played on the Army to consecrate the fact that the only mission being accomplished is the artificial inflation of the military industrial complex.

Background blending camo is for COWARDS.
The most effective camo is made of flamboyant aesthetic colors, in order to lower the enemy morale and drive them from the field with your bravery and fashion sense.
>>34691419
have you ever seen a chameleon or a normal-ass tree frog? have you ever left your moms basement? are you also a fucking retard?
Why so militaries, especially the American military, switch up its camo multiple times every decade and not just keep what actually works?
The current army one is a total God damn mess, a downgrade from what they had before. Why was it changed when the old one was good?
Pic related, it's fucking terrible

The current Army one is scorpion 2, which is multicam by another name as far as I know.
They fucked up with OCP but they're going back to a regular, not-shit camo already.
Any ideas for good camo for Georgia (the state) woodlands. I'm not sure ill be able to tell until i buy it. Wondering if anyone had experience/expertise before i buy

How come the US Marines are the only branch of the US military that doesn't have shitty camo?
>>34694472
I too want to look like a pitch black silhouette moving through the woods.
>>34696183
You forgot the Navy's AOR2. That stuff is amazing in woodland environments.
>>34696183
Because for some reason DOD is retarded and lets different branches have autonomy on stuff like this. So when USMC took the CADPAT and changed the colors, the army said "hey cool send us the pattern so we can use it too!" Then USMC sperged out and said it was their copyrighted design and said no one else can use it.
