kodiak22 Posted November 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 So the Eotac rep, actually he's the president, on lightfighter gave a bit more info on the Color variations. The current version of A-TACS is the A-TACS Universal Pattern. There will be an A-TACS Urban, A-TACS Jungle, etc., in the near future. Link to post Share on other sites
Seraphim989 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 The Navy and the Air force just picked new camo patterns and the Marines...well I think theyre pretty set right now. I wonder why they would make a universal and variations Link to post Share on other sites
kodiak22 Posted November 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 The Navy and the Air force just picked new camo patterns and the Marines...well I think theyre pretty set right now. I wonder why they would make a universal and variations There can be a couple reasons, 1. likes been said, they could be shooting to replace all the US military's camo, universal=army, arid/woodland(jungle)= Marines, etc. and 2. they are doing it for the commercial market, because some people( like me for example) aren't to fond universal patterns, and want a green based one, and a tan/brown based one.

Seraphim989 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Ya I personally don't believe any universal camo could ever be as effective as camos made for specific environments Link to post Share on other sites
Azubi Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 I kinda hope no military force does adopt it. I'm mostly interested because it would be something I would be able to use out in the Middle East at games without being identified as a member of a real world military force.

Azulsky Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Oh yeah Jungle pattern, all us greensiders get an upgrade! Link to post Share on other sites
Talonclaw117 Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Of course, if this isn't adopted, companies like Blackwater are going to jump on this. Link to post Share on other sites
Chimpy Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 http://soldiersystems.net/2009/11/17/spot-...a-tacs/atacs_3/ More pics coming on Soldier Systems soon apparently. Link to post Share on other sites
masakarijoe Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 this stuff looks great, and i hope that the Army goes with it. as far as universal patterns go, this rocks. im still partial to MARPAT, for obvious reasons -Joe Link to post Share on other sites
kodiak22 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Joe, i feel the same way. Also for me its definitely Marpat first, then the ATACS, and AOB patterns about even with Atacs slightly ahead. and ways heres a another pic from Soldier Systems. Then the Pic in the link Chimps posted for those for dont want to/ cant click on the link: Link to post Share on other sites

Jagdraben Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I completely agree, the DOF seems way too unnatural and defined for the background not to be artificial. The pattern does strike some interest to me though and I look forward to any news about it. One of the guys from Eotac on LF has admitted that the backgrounds are photoshop'd. When they were saying that the pictures weren't fake, they were referring to the individual kitted out in it and the weapon and suppressor. Link to post Share on other sites

McArthur Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Thanks for the info McArthur, I know alot of doods like to throw out the PS claim alot...and most don't know anything about photography or Photoshop. I can't wait for more pictures of this pattern and in different climates and enviroments. Apologies, the photo in question was in fact photoshopped. The background was bought it from a seperate image/photoshoot. As Jagdraben said, there was some confusion in the communications between the Photographer, EOTAC and the Public. I too, was fooled by the Photoshopping, and it certainly didn't help with the fact that I recently took photographs which had a similar look. Link to post Share on other sites
The lolinator Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I am also very tempted by this pattern and will probably end up buying myself some Link to post Share on other sites
The Waco Kid Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 I and a couple of my team mates picked up ATAC rigs, pre-order on the bdu. Been following the development of the pattern and I will be interested to see how the different climatic zone varients work out. The kit looks good over Dessie Frog/Cammies. I have been out the back and down the road mucking about with kit, looking at the environment etc. Not done pics as to be honest minimal skill, laziness, basic camera and a monitor isn't the best format to judge anyway. The pattern (maybe even non-pattern because of the blending?) even with CT webbing seems to work very well set opposite CB/khaki/Rg I have to hand. The current colour mix is a very good match of my local area, spot on for liched covered paving and curbs. The lighter shades seem to pick up urban "cement dust theme" very well. I think the same could be said in area with high chalk content or old aggregate sites (probably even more than ACU/UCP). It also looks very similar to dried clay stains. Until I have BDU's I'm not sure how well it will work in mixed woodland etc. Probably not too bad in the winter where there are lots of ash trees or clematis growth. However if you want an Urban/CQB camo for around the SE UK it may be a real winner. Link to post Share on other sites
AnakChan Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Phantom, a shop in Japan, has been stocking A-TACS gear from Volk (local JP), Tactical Performance (Philippines), and TAG. The guys from Phantom wore A-TACS to one of their games last year in November. Info (in Japanese) can be found here :- http://www.phantom-web.com/a-tacs/index.html Sample pics taken from the same blog site :- Link to post Share on other sites

rolling-thunder Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Wow it expensive.18,690 yen for a shirt & that's before postage.(£139.54) Link to post Share on other sites
AnakChan Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Yep, ain't cheap. But Tactical Performance gear aren't cheap (regardless if they're Multicam/A-TACS or whatever). Mind you there are cheaper options on eBay :- Shirt (USD$70) http://cgi.ebay.com/A-TACS-BDU-TOP-UNIFORM-ARMY-USMC-AIRSOFT-PAINTBALL-/220741475651?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3365379d43#ht_1946wt_1141 Pants (USD$68) http://cgi.ebay.com/A-TACS-BDU-BOTTOMS-UNIFORM-ARMY-USMC-AIRSOFT-PAINTBALL-/220741476534?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item336537a0b6#ht_2719wt_1141 Link to post Share on other sites
T3CH Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 the pattern looks vaguely like US woodland put through the oil painting filter on photoshop, I kinda like it. Link to post Share on other sites

Joshua_Rose Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 So, now we have A-TACS, but it just somehow reminds me of something a little older: Different colour pallet granted, but similar (and from the '80s). Link to post Share on other sites
