emilianoksa Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I've always liked the old olive drab, and can't understand why most things that aren't black seem to be tan these days. I find it more pleasing on the eye, more military looking and far more appropriate to colder climes. I know these guns are made in Asia but come on: how many deserts are there in that part of the world? Am I alone in thinking this? I suppose I must be or tan wouldn't be the default option after black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tackle Posted April 6, 2019 Moderators Share Posted April 6, 2019 OD ROCKS 👍 TAN SUCKS C###S 😜 (I agree with you, but sales/marketing peeps will focus on what's "current", & lets be honest desert conflicts have been the norm since 1991, very little of note has happened elsewhere, so unless a major fisticuffs kicks off in a different region, then things won't change in the foreseeable, which is a shame "LOL") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilianoksa Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 What is the point in desert camo if you are playing in a country without deserts? Why would someone in the UK wear it at a skirmish? It would only make him stand out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resistor170 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Exactly what Tackle said. I like a bit of OD on a gun myself too. I have a dd rail on my sa80 but felt it wanted some colour back so added OD rail ladders and grip. One of the joys of our sport is the abundance of choice for aesthetic customisation.

Wo1f Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 @Adolf Hamster Yeah, it’s built from a TM mws gbbr with king arms Vltor stock and CASV rail. Just need to get around to a Vltor flip up front sight post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In late autumn and winter some desert camo is quite effective due to the colour of the woodland where the leaves that have fallen and the bracken has died, there is more bark than leaf and more brown than green.

There is a guy on Youtube who puts various camo patterns through it's paces. Suprisingly desert dpm is pretty good in the woods in autum. I might pick some up myself.

Flecktarn is so good, when i started wearing it was actually noticable that more people just werent seeing me.

You're both right on that, made a few on my own team jump when sitting down reloading. They just don't see you. My mate said I was just a blur when he spotted me moving. Great for ambushes too. Same for the Tropentarn, I was crouched amongst dead ferns trying not to move and laugh after I accidently sniped a bloke on the bollocks. He was looking straight through me then looking everywhere as his mate cradled him back to the respawn. To be fair I was aiming centre mass but I guess it dropped a little to his happy sacks. 1 hour ago, Adolf Hamster said: These days i'm getting quite into my russian stuff and i'm running digi flora which is nice in its own way. I really like digi flora bar the pricetag. One day... one day. That and Pencott Greenzone. Both on my wish list.... Oh and some Aussie Jelly bean camo.

Only really got into digi flora as i was ordering a smersh rig and didnt want to get it confused with my mates od rig. But after seeing it in the flesh it's really nice, if perhaps a bit dark for our forests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
