Opinion on most western countries adopting Multicam? So far US, Russia, UK, Australia, NZ, France, Poland, Netherlands, etc - have adopted plain and edited Multicam patterns as combat uniforms to some extent in their armed forces.

Give your opinions on the pattern.

Works quite well for my AO as it has enough greens to blend in with the sagebrush but enough browns to not stick out against the sand.

I've got a Crye field shirt (since discontinued) and OCP pants in the pattern. Both breathe well, though the Crye shirt's dye has held far better against the punishing sun than the gov't dyes, no surprise there.

I don't think that northern European armies adopting it en masse as a general-issue camo (e.g. Denmark, Norway) makes any sense at all, because it is too light. But for a variety of environments, it works very well. YMMV.

I guess for conventional war it may be a bit weird seeing the same looking camo for all sides. But then again we aren't going to see conventional warfare for a while. I think it's good for the purposes its going to serve.

Any patterns with a color palette like MultiCam are likely to be superior for modern combat. They allow for tremendous versatility with infantry operations in a broad range of regions, seasons, altitudes, and climates. People like to claim that MultiCam is a meme pattern, but fail to understand just what degree of memery was achieved by 20th armies with their extreme desert and tropical snowflake patterns. MultiCam actually works. It beats the shit out of M81 and 3 color desert. It's superior to solid colors like olive drab. Of course, camo patterns in general are better than solid colors, but there isn't typically a better replacement than a multi-environment pattern. MultiCam is BestCam. Anyone who says otherwise is in denial.

>MultiCam is BestCam.
For temperate and semi-arid, which is where the last 30 years of war have been fought. Seriously falters in very green environments though, hence MC tropic.
>>
>>35046932
This is true. Most of us are just shitposting. Anybody who actually thinks multicam isn't good just doesn't have any experience. I personally LIKE old woodland camos more. The new camo is petter though.

aren't they all just the idiot mongloid red headed step-children of the glory that is Flecktarn?

Very green regions are environmental extremes. Relative to mixed vegetation and semi arid regions, rainforest is rare. Operating in tropical regions doesn't necessarily mean being in a rainforest either. Plenty of major battles in mainland Vietnam were conducted in fields of tan grass. Perhaps even more important is the fact that tropical environments tend to demand less out of a pattern by virtue of the fact that dense vegetation provides concealment. Camouflage patterns are more important for dry, wide open terrain.

>>35046516
>France using multicam
Nope, although some sof units sometime use it, it's not "adopted". CCE camouflage is very effective, even the desert version.

If individual units purchase them of their own accord, that's not really adoption. Some OMON units use Atacs out of their own pocket, doesn't mean that Russia has adopted it.

Versatility may be necessary for quick reaction forces and the likes, but most units should know well in advance where they'll be fighting. Forces deployed to eastern europe should definitely get something more green than multicam.
Btw. wide open ground is not infantry terrain in the first place; that's where various kinds of vehicles and fire support rule in a real war. Camouflage needs to work for the places infantry will actually fight in.

Versatility is not a bonus. It is an absolute necessity for all ground forces. In Iraq my unit moved through wide open sandy deserts to vibrant green orchards over the course of a few hours.

That's bullshit. Dead vegetation, sparse semi arid vegetation, and just about anything but a tropical rainforest has a mixture of tans, browns, and greens.

>>35048670
Isn't that UCP?

>>35048629
No dude. Units do not know "well in advance" where they'll be fighting. They could be ambushed while in transit, patrolling large areas, tracking down enemies over long distances, or just go from the bottom to the top of a mountain in an afternoon. Clearly you were never in any military.
>>
>>35052530
That's not UCP. That actually has green in it.
