From an old WW2 British camouflage book I think called Hide and Seek.

Wore three different snow camos out and about after a recent winter storm. Painter's overalls on bottom, SAAB Barracuda on body, and knockoff MultiCam Alpine on my head.

Cool pic by Ashran Airsoft of Woodland Viper doing a "Protect the VIP" gamemode. Thought it was cool how they gave the VIP a little balloon head. XP
(hope I'm doing this right, first post)

Camouflage @sh.itjust.works SomeAmateur @sh.itjust.works Flecktarn Treeline Field Test, September, Midwest US
In previous field tests flecktarn and M81 have had the same problem. They seem too dark and seem to silhouette easily. But in a treeline it works pretty well!

The video is a product of its time with language and character portrayals to match. However there are good nuggets of knowledge in here considering the common use of drones today.

My first imgur album on lemmy so sorry if it's weird for you. Surplus ABU uniforms dyed with Apple Green RIT dye is surprisingly effective! The downside is that it's all shades of green so it isn't very flexible as you move to different areas (dirt, dry grass etc)

Camouflage @sh.itjust.works SomeAmateur @sh.itjust.works Micro Patterns
As the term suggests Micro Patterns are small patterns in camouflage that are intended to provide illusions of depth and silhouette breakup at closer ranges. However as the observation ranges increase it produces "blobbing" where the small changes of color are no longer perceived by the eye and it becomes similar to one solid color, especially when the colors used don't have much contrast. This is why combining both macro and micro patterns are essential to optimize the camouflage effect at various ranges.
An example of micro pattern dominant camouflages are Russian EMR, UCP and Strichmuster

Camouflage @sh.itjust.works SomeAmateur @sh.itjust.works Macro Patterns
This term is commonly seen when describing camo, but what is it exactly?
Macro patterns are large patterns that are intended to break up silhouettes at a distance. They are often seen as large contrasting segments across a uniform or vehicle. The downside is that it tends to lose it's effect at closer ranges.
The M81 Woodland pattern was designed to work best several hundred meters away, and is a great example of a macro camouflage scheme.
