choose one
>>28287557
it largely depends on the colors used and huge fucking retarded pixels might make a difference
>>28287541
Still not as bad as UCP.
Those huge pixels are already assaulting and confusing my eyes.
How tactical.
>>28287541
Jesus I thought this was just a picture someone MS painted random squares on for a second. That shit hurts my eyes so bad.
Is that why it works? Because nobody can look at it long enough to pull the trigger without screaming in pain?
this would work great for invading minecraft
>it took the Latvian military a decade to figure out that desert camo isn't all that suited for use in forested areas
Color me impressed.
>>28287541
I actually like it, I want some for my collection.
Why did they go with ACU cut? it's shit
look at that shitty as fuck vest on the left. Is it fucking 1991 again?
Goddamn foreign militaries are so embarrassing
>>28287557
Pixel only works when there is an algorithm that mimics large and small shapes in nature.
In this case, looks like a bunch of shit someone made in MSPaint with no science background.
>>28288751
Digital doesn't have to be pixelated, iirc digital camos use algorithms to enhance camo patterns by including both macro and micro patterns that repeat (think fractals) so that the contrast of the colours will still be effective at different distances and not a homogenous blob that is easier to spot.
>>28287541
Well its hard to look at. Maybe enemy soldiers would be less likely to hit them because it makes there eyes sore?
Those camos work perfectly in lativian forests in spring and autumn. In summer they stand out only in july&june and that depends on the weather and time of day. They are ugly as fuck but also effective as fuck. You just cannot see how good camo it is in some room with white walls and columns from a picture taken 5 meters from a guy wearing it.
Save me Estonian military! My eyes can't take it anymore!
Should have stayed with woodland bdu
Latvian here
dudes in the latvian military are pretty bro tier.
they also use the g36 which is actually light as fuck.
>>28287541
This camo was actually an error
The person who created the camo accidentely saved the file in a shitty low res format
Now they are stuck with thousands of uniforms
>>28289477
Those EOTechs though.
>>28289517
Woodland BDU is an excellent camouflage pattern and a terrible uniform. Way too common. You don't want people to see you, but if they do see you, you want them to know who you belong to so maybe they choose not to shoot you.
>>28287541
It looks like someone set the resolution too low on their printer.
>Might actually work inna woods
>>28287541
>red velvet cake people
>complaining about their camo
>>28289414
Which is basically what I just said.
>>28287541
Micro-pattern is non-existant, but the macro-pattern is great. Look at the thumbnail of the image, that's a decent approximation of the effectiveness of the camo at distance, say, 200m. They'd be fucking hard to spot with a decent background.
I'd say this is actually a fairly decent pattern.
It looks autistic tho.
>>28287541
I can see this as being effective.
I don't know shit about effectiveness, but I think it looks pretty good, honestly. But yeah, >>28288745, that vest on the left is laughable.
>>28287541
Mine craft the fps.
For real though... I kinda like it. Gimme some with multicam colors, and I'm gtg.
>>28288751
>In this case, looks like a bunch of shit someone made in MSPaint with no science background.
just like ur moms ass
>>28287557
Pixel camo isn't by itself better. It's just an easier way to print and design fractal based designs, but the shapes being squares or dots (see flecktarn) does not make a difference by itself.
>>28288751
It doesn't need a micropattern
It's kinda effective (then again you could run around in a tropical rainforest wearing pink bunny suit and people still can't see you past 25 yards), but damn, this shit is ugly
>>28292527
It does, Digital camo is macro + micro patterns.
Pixel camo is a kind of digital camo, designed to be easier to produce.
Making a macro pattern only using pixels is worthless.
>>28292583
This one is better desu
>>28292587
Digital camo is camoflage generated with some sort of procedural, fractal algorithm. Now, this algorithm makes it good at generating complex micropatterns to complement macro matterns, but you can theoretically create an algorithm that only generates a macropattern
better
damn, everytime people write a sentence ending with "better", there's always the word desu following up
>>28287541
Why do they look like they are from minecraft
>>28292616
Yes, that's what I said.
A pixel macro pattern would be a 90° edge woodland.
>>28289414
Actually during all the trials ive read (2 or 3 maybe) on the subject, homogenous colours beat out patterns. The use of patterns is mainly a combination of looking cool and being able to differentiate the soldiers of different nations.
>>28292642
>quote: digital camo is micro + macro patterns
Shut the fuck up. You're wrong. Go away
>>28292668
But I am not.
Go away kid.
This is how a macro pattern only would look.
Pixelated but not digital.
>>28292714
This is how the similar colors would look with macro and digitally created micro patterns.
The idea is that from afar you still get the 3 shapes of colors, but for middle distances those shapes become blurry and remain effective.
>>28292668
ayyy
military uniforms are looking more and more american
>>28292782
>unsourced and debatable conjecture
>>28292818
Unsourced indeed, but no debatable.
If you want to go full autist go ahead.
>>28292834
Digital doesn't mean what you think it does. The term for what you are describing is right there in your article.
>>28292875
Ok anon.
>>28292797
It's pretty funny to see Chinese and Russian spec ops guys that look like your average geer-queer American.
"Fucking pindo cykas, we shall crush them.. but hopefully after my new mutlicam plate carrier comes in"
>>28292891
multiscalar, there you go
>>28292966
Yes, digital camoflage is indeed multiscalar, your point?
>>28289454
Works for dispersion.
>>28293078
Fuck I want that
So did they just add some grey-green bits to their desert uniform?
>>28292377
FUCKING THIS 1000000%
DIGI CAMO IS JUST AN ECONOMIC CHOICE
>>28287557
When does it stop being digital and start being pic related?

Does a kommrade know who makes the boots they're wearing?
>>28289477
lol wtf are those eotechs
>>28292625
try writing t.b.h. or f.a.m. without periods senpai
Looks like pixelated vomit
>>28293078
what is this pattern
>>28293182
Trust me, you don't want it that much:
http://present-london.com/brand/ark-air/
>>28294769
Dispersion. They had urban environments in mind I think, imagine brick rubble and bit of concrete.
>>28295225
fucks with my eyes at least
>>28295350
I want more of it, but not at that price.
Oh Latvia.
Let Estonia show you how it's done.
>>28295392
Yeah, that's a nice pattern and the smock looks dece, but pricey as hell.
New Mexican Marine Corps camo.
>>28295746
The two in the heli look like kids
>>28295392
Looks like these guys have it for less than half that: http://www.oipolloi.com/collections/ark-air
>>28287541
I love it
>>28295765
That's because they're women.
>>28295746
It's nice of them to let children on the helicopter
>>28295765
>>28295793
You can see the bun on one of them in this picture.
>>28287541
yfw you realize they arent wearing any clothes and its a blurred out image to be SFW
>>28295792
american women are crazy useless in the marines.I wonder how mexican marine females compare, considering they generally grow up under harsher conditions like cartel attacks and they usually have to actually work from a young age because their family is probably poor. I remember watching a female marine get the fucking shit beat out of her by a nig nog at the mall in jacksonville, female marine started it so I just sat back and bueno'd
>>28295805
>>28295765
>>28295746
they must have came from the lower lower part, Yucatan for example.
The indigenous genes are strong in these below 5'0 midgets.
>>28296334
Or they're women. Which they obviously are.
>>28292192
>Mine craft the fps.
You mean Ace of Spades
>>28295746
looks like Guy Cramers US4CES
>>28287541
>and possibly ineffective camo
Main purpose of a combat uniform is to make you identifiable, so its easier to avoid unnecessary friendly fire and engage hostiles without having to confirm that they are hostiles.
As long as it has the basic colors of the area of operations it will work fine, not taking proper cover is more of an issue than lacking camouflage capabilities, and the later will also encourage the use of the other.
Anything that doesn't give you away from 300m+ or from the air is approved.
Investing in expensive camouflage uniform research is kind of a waste at this point since IR cameras will spot you any way, while just covering your head and shoulders with foliage or using a ghili suit is less expensive and more effective than a single uniform set will ever be.
>>28296636
>dat UCP
Let's play "Spot the Latvian".
>>28287541
It's still definitely much better than UCP both in terms of appearance and functionality. I honestly don't see anything wrong with it.
>>28287541
Color palette looks effective.
The pixels are a little large, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
>>28293078
It makes me feel like my eyes are fucked.
>>28287557
*koff* *koff* UCP *koff*
>>28296919
>Koff
>>28296636
can someone identify to which country belong each camo? Specially the one signalized
>>28296676
>"Spot the Latvian".
The ones standing either side of the couch?
>>28296992
Netherlands
>>28296992
I think the guy circled is either Portuguese or Dutch.
>>28287541
I'd imagine those would work alright in most wooded areas once they are a bit dirty.
>>28296841
Great isn't it?
>>28296992
That'll be dutch DPM.
>>28296992
That's the Royal Canadian Hussars, from Montreal, not as gay as them fags from Edmonton I tell you.
>>28296992
Front row:
Kraut, Kraut, Kraut, Bong, Syrupnigger, Murican, Murican, Bong, Cloggie, Waffelnigger, Kraut
There's a South African on the second row and I'm guessing the black guy at the back is too but can't see his cammies.
Guy in the white shirt is a Bong. No idea what the guy in the blue shirt is - guessing Italian because it looks fruity. Other green shirts at the back are Canadians like the short-ass one in the front.
>>28292377
This isn't even necessarily true. Canada had to redo their roller printers to make sharp-edged pixels. The choice of square pixels was probably to save computational time when generating prototypes.
>>28297126
>>28296992
Canadians use CADPAT, before that either OD or garrison dress.
In the picture you've got the americans in UCP which gives it a date. From left to right front row:
Flecktarn x3 (germany)
MTP (UK)
M84 on the trousers (Danish)
UCP x2 (merrica)
MTP again
DPm (dutch version, slightly lighter tone than the British version)
Jigsaw (Belgium)
Guy on far left in second row has S2000 on (South Africa)
>>28296543
It is. Check their website
>>28297186
Nah bruh, thats totally Royal Canadian Hussars
>>28297166
That's not CADPAT that's M84. look at the patches of light green in it, CADPAT is a very dark pattern. That and the canuks have a CADPAT shirt, not an OD one.
>>28297186
>>28297166
>>28297039
Thanks guys
>>28297085
why would the Portuguese and the Dutch have the same camo pattern?
>>28297203
Nah uh, Canadian DPM was experimental and they only used it on para smocks.
>>28287541
Is dis minecwaft?
>>28297228
http://camopedia.org/index.php?title=DPM
There are some types of patterns a lot of countries use/used.
>>28297230
The tripshit is correct on this one guys
>>28297429
I do actually collect.
>>28297203
Great reference picture.
Its Dutch DPM.
