  1. "We selected the pattern that the enemy is less likely to use!" "Yeah, but there's a reason for that."

  2. That's why some of the best camos nature developed in million of years (tigers, leopards, many snakes...) have black spots or stripes.

  3.  @letoubib21  Zebras have a "herd" camo thaty disrupt the shape of the single animal. Tigers are invisible in their natural habitat (high grass and reeds) that produce vertical shadows. https://i.pinimg.com/600x315/f1/6b/63/f16b63a42e2a8b6e69ce673ee86c407a.jpg Spotted animals are more camouflaged with low grass and leaves. https://c8.alamy.com/comp/K59FX9/a-jaguar-from-north-pantanal-brazil-camouflages-almost-perfectly-with-K59FX9.jpg

  4. "Black is not found in nature" Half of the felines and snakes, with some of the most perfect camouflages evolved in millions of years, sporting black spots and stripes: "Yeah, funny." https://media.istockphoto.com/photos/perfect-camouflage-lynx-on-fallen-leaves-picture-id585071884

  6. And, most of all, with an armor that doesn't protect you from anything.

  7. The UCP ws the answer to "Our soldiers are too anonymous, none notices them. How can we make them stand out more?"

  8. Actually the colours of the UCP were too similar to create any dirsuption effect at any distance. The eye catches it like a single colour.

  9. It lacks contrast anyway. At more than few yards distance, it has practically the same effectiveness of a single color. When woodland was originally tested, it was noticed that it worked better the bigger the splashes (so the bigger the contrast) were (that way you disrupt the shape of the wearer). The scale adopted was a compromise chosen because pockets and sewings would have interrupted the pattern anyway. Modern digital camouflages infact are made with a fractale algorithm, so to have the same contrast at any scale.

  10. The camo exists exactly to dirsupt the shape, so that the eye doesn't catches the different colours as belonging to a single figure. That's what differentiates the camo uniforms from the single colour uniforms of WWI-WWII. And that's why high contrast camo uniforms like the, alpenflage or the DPM, tend to work very well.
