What type of camo do you use the most? (with poll)
 
Poll / Discussion...

What type of camo do you use the most or is your 'standard' set?

gandar November 1st, 2005 22:18

Darn tootin'. It may not be the most used, but it it the most 'highly regarded', top of the list, so to speak.

yanhchan November 2nd, 2005 07:35

Stealth Camoflague of course...god learn from MGS...Just kidding I love U.S. woodland and the old Vietnam Era ones Tiger Stripes...i wish I had tiger stripes...

Kid November 2nd, 2005 08:05

You should really add a 'Chairsofter' option so that the ones that don't own any camo can still see the results, helps them/us pick.

Mantelope November 2nd, 2005 11:29

Where's the tigerstripe love?

Darklen November 2nd, 2005 11:48

Multicam, unless camo is restricted in the game.

Damn forgot that too. Sorry harleyb.

It was a bit of a pain to get the poll set up as I only had five mins to put everything in from the time I posted the thread. I screwed the first one up and had to get the thread trashed.

It's not exactaly going as I had planed. I'm not sure if mods can add stuff to polls though. If you (mods) can, feel free to add Woodland and TigerStripe to the poll to correct my unworthyness. ;-)

Manaconda November 2nd, 2005 11:50

tiger stripe! can I get a hooya

Mantelope November 2nd, 2005 11:51

Hooya!

How are you finding it? Is it doing what they said it would do in real life?

Darklen November 2nd, 2005 12:15

Multicam works amazingly well pretty much everywhere I've worn it. The only problem I've had was in the summer when it's really green and then people said they saw me only while I was moving. Once I stopped and crouched, it's hard to see. But like other camo's, it's just as much using the local terrain to blend in as the camo to disrupt you shape. In the height of summer, when Cadpat rules the roost here, I found the best way to "hide" in Multicam was to stand right beside a medium to large sized tree. Other players would walk within 10 feet of me and not notice. If a tree wasn't available, crouching behind a bush or laying down worked not too bad.

I mean, let's face it, the stuff doesn't work everywhere, under all circumstances, nothing does. But if you play year round (I do), it's probably the best overall camo to have, if you only use one pattern. Other players I've gamed with around here have worn Cadpat & woodland in winter and while it works ok in the bush, especially evergreens, they're toast when they're in the open.

What color gear do you use with it? OD, Tan or did ya pimp out some Multicam Webing?

RaiNe November 2nd, 2005 12:19

Whatever works best in the environment for me.

CADPAT TW for summer season like conditions and planning on getting a set of Woodland MARPAT for fall like season, not sure if I'll be playing in winter yet.

Most of the time, I wear an OD Arktis Sigma vest, holds 14 G36 mags plus a bunch of other kit. I picked up a cheapo tan rig off Ebay last month and it works ok as well, but only holds 4 mags. I'd love to get a sigma vest in Multicam though.

Me in Multicam & my OD Sigma. Way to big to post here.

I got news for ya Harley, no one really cares about any of these polls ... and a new one, covering the exact same topic will take it's place in a month or less anyway :)

Snow_Raven November 2nd, 2005 14:36

Voted Flecktarn, but hoping to have a nice set of Swedish M90 soon

CADPAT, pretty much.
Some splodges of other country's stuff too, but not much. For example, every once in a while I have a shemagh, and every once in a while I have a black balaclava.

FOX_111 November 2nd, 2005 16:42

no ghillie suit option? Other is not good enough.

Cadpat then.
It's under my ghillie suit anyway.

Phalanix November 2nd, 2005 17:10

Go ACU!!! Who's the other person that picked ACU? *lol* I've changed my main setup to ACU recently - it's not as effective as Cadpat, but it's not too bad (the latest version). Primary reason for the change is to go for some variation at the games... everyone's usually Cadpat - I'm getting a bit tired of only seeing Cadpat and Woodland at games.

-Trooper- November 2nd, 2005 17:12

I use Cadpat, but the are fading. So, I want/need to get some Marpat.

Conscript November 2nd, 2005 17:37

DPM, nothing beats it.

Deathblow November 3rd, 2005 00:51

Woodland rocks!

Dozer_01 November 3rd, 2005 00:59

2 votes for ACUPAT... That really scares me. That is by far the ugliest shit ive ever seen. ;)

I pitty you two guys...

Lerch November 3rd, 2005 02:47

My whole loadout is in DPM. The odd piece in OD doesn't hurt though.

I'm wanting to loadup on Desert DPM for this summer though...

Cheese November 3rd, 2005 08:37

I like to use DPM woodland or desert. As strange as it can be, desert DPM is pretty good in the wood because you can be confused with the ground (dead leaves, branches of trees)

For desert DPM, nice one, I like it. I got no problem to find the jacket, but for trouser, it has been hard to find one. So I ordered one used at Flecktarn.co.uk. The trouser was still in very good condition. I paid around 45$ shipping included. I found the boonie hat on ebay.

I'm certain you love that combo as much as I do.

Cheese November 3rd, 2005 08:46

definitly ! ;)

Lerch November 3rd, 2005 20:24

*starts drooling*

All I've got right now in the way of desert DPM in my bush hat which I've cut down and added a drawstring for around the back of my head.

Right now I'm sewing a custom pocket onto my S95 jacket 8-)

norb8 November 3rd, 2005 23:25

I voted cadpat. But just curious now, are there any statistics or research that shows that cadpat is a superior BDU? I keep reading stuff on ASC such as: "cadpat is 34% better than such and such". Is there any data to back up these claims?

mcguyver November 3rd, 2005 23:43

marpat all the way. we did an impromptu test this summer between acu, multicam, cadpat and marpat in summer green foliage. cadpat was best, then marpat them multi-cam and last acu. later we tried low light and cadpat and marpat were best and acu was worst. marpat still the best i think for general use. i had mercied guys in mutli-cam when they nearly stepped on my marpat-ed ass. but next year i'm going to try out my cloaking device i made with my new anti-matter reactor.

|2enegade November 3rd, 2005 23:48

does MARPAT fade as bad as CADPAT?

mcguyver November 4th, 2005 00:31

yes. but i have 3 sets of marpat and rotate them to avoid overusing i set till it's toast. and i only wash them when they're really disgusting. a little dirt and dust and i just hang them up.

HGI November 4th, 2005 01:11

dirt/dust and mud add extra camo :D

I probly wash my gear no more than 1once a year mabe.

might be nasty but ahh well.

Lerch November 4th, 2005 02:51

eww...that's gotta be hell on the fabric.

I wash my DPM's after every weekend. It's true that they do fade, but it's very VERY slow. Remember, it's the wear that occurs when being used that fades their color, not the wash cycle.

As for CADPAT, it's only the GenI that fades horribly. The newer GenII and III will last a long time under normal use.

HGI November 4th, 2005 04:17

Yea but it's a little hard to get gen3 for airsoft use.

Barf November 4th, 2005 06:52

What about rastaflage?

Hmm... Phalanix, you wouldnt happen to know anything about this? New set of ACU + Mod Powers x Dozer Making Fun of ACU = Fixed Poll? :P

Cheese November 4th, 2005 09:40

I'm very surprised to see ACU as the mostly used. In games, I normaly saw only one guy with ACU and a tons of cadpat hehe

Haha, i just dont see a point in that flauge. White, grey, darker grey, may be good for the winter with some gravel on the snow....or a few rocks in the woods with some snow on it with a bit of grey moss. Feel free to play with it though....spot you from a mile away...your loss :razz:

Oh please, Rob... I have better things to do than fixing a poll. Whoever did it, it wasn't me! Plus, I'm only the Gallery Admin - so most of my powers are there, not here. But still, I like my ACU's. :p

As I've said before, the ACU looks grey in cameras - I've tested many lighting conditions / filters in cameras with sunlight. ACU comes out greyish, but if you look at it in person, it's greener (the latest version, anyway).

The point of ACU? Well, look at the possible theatres of operation the US will conduct in the near future - I think it's design is obvious.

Lerch November 4th, 2005 21:03

ACU is supposed to be an offensive multi-climate camoflage. It's printed with colors that appeal to both temperate and desert theaters, the problem being is that they end up being grey tones (which don't work well in either theater).



All hail temperate DPM!!!

lt_poncho November 4th, 2005 23:27

3 color was missing from this poll as well...but all the digital patterns made it on. Weird!

Kane November 5th, 2005 00:10

Fleck, no substitutes!!

Goldman November 5th, 2005 00:47

MARPAT all the way... Issue marpat that is....

As for muticam, from what I saw, it sticks out like a sore thum in Ontario, during the summer, making it kind of useless IMO.

edit - Issue marpat also takes longer to fade than cadpat.

demco11 November 5th, 2005 00:56

YaY! Minority!!!! 1 vote for me and my "Other European" camo aka The Polish camo.

dman November 5th, 2005 01:16

Are you the guy we kept on confusing as a woodlands player?
