Isn't there a new version of the camo, that's digitally pixilated, like the Army and Marine Corp camo patterns?

@456820

the models are HYKs. The camo is only an oversuit that goes over your regular BDUs, so soldiers in a desert terrain would still have the desert boots. I am making a woodland version that will have black boots as well as woodland helmet cover, body armor etc...

@FerretFangs

I have not seen an updated version of this camo, but if you know where i can find pics id be interested...

I have never seen this before, got any real life pics of it in action?

Is that also what this is?

Would be awesome if you could make a nighttime blackop like the one above.

i agree with Extraction, little desaturation should help ;-)

@Extraction, your SAS could also use that, making black little lighter (very dark grey instead of total black) and desaturated blue. washing softners dont work perfect, black on used clothes is never 100% black ;-) and blue, desaturation in PS on 40% - thats my advice ;-)

Yes still hav mine in the closet, it was a failure and p[hased out durring the first gulf war. Along with the cholate chip verssion of the DCUS. That was replaced with tri color DCUs. Just the top was commly worn durring the night due to the high winds that blew over the desert most troops didn't bring coldweather gear so anything that could be worn extra was used including these. Pants were pretty much useless due to it had no pockets and was just a covering like the field pants worn in winter.

I was under the impression that the current digital pattern effectively broke up the outline through NVG's too?

It works better against the human eye to break up the outline of a human or equipment covered with it, oddly enough this stuff was more effective against our own NVGs at the time. The current digital cammo is to work on all levels of visual sighitng its kinda neat oddly testing the Army deset digital cammo it was very effective nearly got me run over on a few occassions cause the vehicle driver didn't see me till I waved and threated to open fire on his 5 ton truck. =p

Most of the protection goes bye bye when its washed a number of times. Even more so if the uniform gets touched by starch.

ok. @1in1class:

These are meant to be late 80's early 90's era troops, so no fancy vests or chest rigs for these guys. This type of camo is no longer being issued, although i have seen some SF guys wearing the jackets over in Afghanistan. Which leads me to:

@Extraction:

I will lighten these up a bit. I was thinking the same thing myself about the colors... I made them a bit to dark, be cause the game tends to lighten them up a bit as opposed to O2... I had problems with my black BDU seals because of that. If you wish to use this camo for your CIA guys after ive reworked it, let me know.

@Bobcatt:

Thanks the info. Ill be removing the pockets from the trousers, and maybe adding a version with the Chocolate chip pants as well.

They have flaps allowing you to reach itno your BDUs to access the cargo pockets and such through em.

Oh, that's pretty cool. The Goodwill in our town never has anything good.

Now you can sneak around your neighborhood without having to worry about the Russians spotting you wink_o.gif
