Title: effectiveness of different camouflage patterns
Post by: PhoenixShadowCompany on June 05, 2013, 07:55:16 PM
Found this well browsing the Web the other day. Its a good breakdown of what camouflage patterns work best in different settings. Honestly I'm surprised multicam didn't make it into the top 3 spaces at all.

That illustration simulates only one type of terrain where the article above breaks down almost any environment.

While multicam did not score in any of the top spots for any of the categories, it did score just about in the middle of all of the categories, making it one of, if not the best all around/do everything camouflages.

I have to switch to that "bunny" camo! That leaves Multicam in the dust!

And as for the article, i have to say it is very interesting. I cant believe Multicam isn't near the top. Thanks for the read!

Multicam was designed to be an all purpose camo, hence "multi".

Still, got to say, at the distances that normal AEGs can engage at, camo is of no use. Slight movement can be detected and circumvented.

I'd have to disagree, I've had people walk within 10 feet of me and not see me while wearing my tropentarn, but while wearing ACU I've been hit while I wasnt moving and behind a bush at 100 feet away. I've found that good camo does its job in airsoft as long as you pick the proper vegitation to hide behind, and its usually[when I'm looking anyway] someones face/sholders that gives them away. However theres no camo in the world that can hide you while your running.

Also, unless I missed something I noticed the article left out flecktarn and tropentarn, the author seemed more interested in the digital patterns.
