Tan or Multicam?

[hyllecool]

Up here in Prescott, at the fields my team play at, camo holds a high tactical advantage... obviously. Our fields are pretty close  quarters, so i say this with experience. The general landscape is desert, but with heavy foliage, and i find that even from even 10ft away, those who wear camo are significantly harder to spot than those without. Even while moving. Therefore i am a huge fan of camo. however, i am not familiar with phoenix area fields, but i assume less foliage, flatter terrain, and correct me if i am wrong. so i would guess camo has a bit less of an advantage. All i am saying is it depends on the fields terrain. Where i play, camo works damn well, therefore i always use it. In terms of multicam vs tan, i use either depending on my mood, and with mc, i run a coyote tan CIRAS and IBH and it looks pretty good IMO

I've been up to Prescott for games before, it sounds more like the lighting or lack thereof is what's making it harder for you to spot moving people.


Find the right rock and the right amount of shade, and even a dork like me in ACU would be hard to spot. I'm fairly sure that's up in a Prescott AO, that or Strawberry.

Lighting for sure plays a  factor. We play morning-midday and obviously the darker it gets, the harder it is to spot people, especially those who wear camo. All im trying to say is where i play, i find wearing camo definitely has its advantage. Often times i spot fellow team mates just by the vibrant red and yellow team patch we wear, otherwise i wouldnt have seen them. But with types of camo, they all essentially do the same thing in terms of disrupting the human figure. My team runs multicam, and im more partial to multicam. I know it works well, but for those who dont believe in camo for airsoft, thats fine, thats just how i like to play, and it works for me.

It doesn't appear to do that with ACU lol!

During those Prescott/Strawberry games that I was wearing ACU where I got stuck out in the open, I was described as a big alfalfa colored blob running around the field. Anyway back on topic the whole argument here was that newer players seem to think camo is a license to be careless with cover and position, it isn't. If you are smart about movement and positioning then I agree it will help, but lets get one thing straight, a guy in jeans and a t-shirt who moves intelligently through a field and uses cover and concealment wisely will always get the drop on someone wearing camo that lacks situational awareness and runs around out in the open like a chicken with its head cut off.

I completely agree with you. Camo isnt my aegis that lets me run around undetected, its simply a tool to give the upper hand when used wisely. So yes, I agree that someone in jeans and a t-shirt can be arguably just as effective, but from a personal preference, I like to use camo.

Multicam goes good with any solid color ( black, tan, OD). Multicam was created to blend with whatever enviroment its in http://www.multicampattern.com/ and plus you will have more uses for multicam. But if your looking for something mainly good for the arizona desert id go woth atacs its perfect for desert enviroments!
