Fun fact, jungle and forest camouflage does not work on color blind or green color blind people.
>>
>>30658182
People seem to think camo needs to work like an invisibility cloak or it's useless. Sure, if you are standing next to the guy it's pretty obvious you can see him, if you are scanning a hillside 300 meters away however, those patterns blend in quite well.

You idiot, camouflage doesn't just blend. It breaks up shape as well. So, long story short you're retarded.

Camo doesn't make people in front of you invisible.
Camo uses shapes and silhouettes that allow the user to be, at least, not immediately recognizable.

Yes, the Nazis found that troops issued camo uniforms suffered statistically fewer casualties than those issued solid-colored uniforms. Pretty much every other nation has found the same thing since. The less you're seen the less shot you get.

He's not talking about patterns breaking up your shape, he's talking about the colors sticking out.
You can wear a ghillie suit in the snow. Does it break up your pattern? Sure, but you're still gonna be visible because of the contrast with colors around you, you dense motherfucker.

this is when they are in the open, now wait till they are behind a few trees and stuff
And as an blackhawk crew chief, it really does help when aircraft fly by, a squad fell asleep when we went to pick them up and we couldnt find them till one woke up and waved us down (Training not deployed)

Colors don't "stick out" to a greater degree for those who are color blind. They stick out less. A color which performs the blending function has two properties. The first is to match the color HUE. This is the function which is not interpreted by color blind individuals. The second function, which is equally as important for people who can see color, is color VALUE. This is called other things such as saturation, but for all intents and purposes we are discussing brightness or "albedo" of a pattern's colors. The necessity of eliminating shine and matching the brightness of the surrounding environment is the exact same in greyscale as it is in full color. A camouflage pattern which does this well will work in both cases. Your woefully retarded counterexample of using a ghillie suit (presumably not a snow camo one) in a snow field blatantly disregards the necessity of matching color value of a given region. The notion that color blind people are somehow less susceptible to camouflage is a MYTH and should be treated as such. If anything, they are less able to discern the pattern from nature because they lack a valuable second tool for it, color recognition.

Camoflage might make someone take an extra second to go 'OH SHIT A HUMAN'. A second is a very long time to not see someone with a gun.

PenCott greenzone.
Too many to list. Looks like 3 color desert, some woodland and some solids. FDE and Coyote.

Right smack dab in the middle is a guy crouching down with his back to the camera. He's wearing a boonie. No equipment.

There's nothing to see. No one is in the photo. It's just a picture of a rock.

And camoflauge that suits the environment can be great at a distance

Colombian cameo works, their army sometimes set up checkpoints without the hi viz vests in rural areas, and unless you are within 50 meters, you really don't notice them against vegetation.

>>30658182
This is anecdotal, but whatever

I have bright red hair, and whenever I go and play paintball, I only ever get shot in the head. Everybody I go with has darker hair or is wearing a hat, and they are only ever shot in the body. It might be how retardedly aggressive I play, but I think it's more likely that my bright colored hair just draws more attention.

Tl;dr is camo doesn't make you invisible, but it makes you harder to pick out from your surroundings
