Thomme Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 I was wondering where and under what conditions the following camo work best or are intended for: Alpenflauge, Flecktarn, DPM & US Woodland. Link to post Share on other sites
joeking27 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 In a forest. Seriously though, most camos are usually best in their home country, but there can be alot said for having a pattern that everyone isn't looking for in the bushes. Not sure about the US, but most people at my site wear DPM, I imagine because it does okay, and is quite cheap. US woodland is a little darker than DPM, but doesn't make much difference unless its the middle of summer, green leaves and bright sunshine. Link to post Share on other sites
rallymad_nad Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 For UK, what would be best for urban then, or a compromise between the two?? I was going to go for an OD tac vest so I could use it for both, as apposed to a woodland one, or black, which everyone says stands out too much. Would a set of navy overalls be better for urban?? TBH most of the places I seen ppl play, it looks as if desert would suit better due to light concrete areas rather than brickwork etc. Ta Nad Link to post Share on other sites
destrukto Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Alpenflage - snowy terrain (in all seriousness though, fall leaves) Flecktarn - very, very effective in basically any wooded terrain woodland - does OK in wooded terrain and that's about it never seen DPM being used in a skirmish before, so I won't comment on it As for urban, they make special urban camo BDUs and are usually greyish white in color, but I personally just use my standard Flecktarn BDUs, it makes no sense to me to have a set of BDUs for an environment that I normally don't play in that often Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost_Rider Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 In pretty much all urban environments, Camo is a non starter. You're so close to the enemy that it makes no difference. Woodland, anything that has a decent breakup of greens and browns is good, so flectarn, DPM and US Camo's work equally well. Go with a look or loadout you like. Link to post Share on other sites

Thomme Posted March 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 I went ahead and ordered one of every kind from cheaper than dirt. Only came out costing 22 shipped. It's pretty cool. Link to post Share on other sites
