woodland is a fine camo.

unless you are selling camo to the USA military.

Nice thread champ. Now try putting it on, your human silhouette is what needs to be camouflaged and M81 does a poor job of breaking up the silhouette.

However if you were in the bush wearing it... you know like your meant to... The shadow that would be cast on it would darken it to match the surrounding vegitation. The woodland does the same thing however as it is already dark it'll appear even darker.

lets be honest here folks. Given a few more years woodland camo as a whole will be worthless unless they add fence panels and sprawl blotches. Europoors don't even need it anymore outside of snowflake game preserves.

jesus fucking christ this thread triggers me, a picture of camo held up in a tree is not enough evidence to determine if it is useful.

you need to consider the average range of engagement, as the distance effects how the human eye perceives color. additionally you need to accommodate for multiple light conditions, time of day, and pick the best over all.

1 picture from 10 feet away is not enough information to go on. seriously do you plan on everyone being ten feet away when you fight??

i though /k/ was smarter than this.
>>
>>30168446

No one in their right mind should be trying to pick just one pattern either. Ideally you want a few different patterns for different times of day, different seasons, and different environments. That is unless you live in the desert where shit never changes color.

Daily reminder the US still uses woodland
>>
>>30168496
Yeah this. You gotta carry all of your camo with you so that you can change at any point to match whatever the surrounding environment throws at you. Haven't you played Snake Eater. What a fucking nub.
>>
>>30168065
I know it was top 3 with CADPAT and tiger stripe think, but do you have any sources that say it was actually number one or is that just speculation on your part?
>>
>>30168759
That's right. You've got to take into account the average kommandos 72 hour patrol ops and the fact that you're under constant withering enemy fire from all distances and directions.

No you fat autist, the average kommando will be using it for their camping adventure playtime in the woods or airsoft/paintball match. If they were actually concerned about superior camouflage it wouldn't break someone's back to carry an extra jacket and trousers or take 5 minutes to change out of one into the other.

It's a UBACS (under body armor combat shirt) that was originally meant to be worn under a plate carrier.

As the years have passed, carriers have become more minimalist, and expose the underneath moisture-wicking material. The older, original carriers covered much more of the non-patterned material.

Lots of countries use them, but I don't understand why they don't print the pattern over the torso-material, like the Estonians do.
>>
>>30170161
Yeah I know, but why white. You'd think tan or something would be way better.

>You'd think tan or something would be way better.
Agreed. Specifically, I'd think they go for coyote brown, like they did with the IBA plate carriers. Still:
>I don't understand why they don't print the pattern over the torso-material, like the Estonians do.
Maybe it's just to encourage guys to wear their PCs or something.
>>
>>30158468
And we still use the Centre Europe pattern.
>>
>>30170296
>encourage guys to wear their PCs or something
I guess, maybe, but that only really applies when you're innafield actually in combat, which isn't that common in militaries that aren't the US and maybe the UK/Germany/european countries with smaller peacekeeping forces.

I've never met a soldier who wouldn't want to wear their PC while fighting/in danger.

It's already common practice to just wear a UBACS as a field shirt w/o a PC, I don't know whey they even still use some sort of light field jacket in modern militaries.
>>
>>30170177
It is tan, just a very light shade.
Patagonia combat shirts issued for USASOC are all multicam.
