Interesting camo that I could get into.

Was at the Air&Space museum and was noticing the Germans had a really cool camo back in WWI.

There is a number of camo patterns the Germans came out with that really surprised the allies. Not the normal boring stuff

Im not into military camo. I guess that is why I liked the German aviation camo of old. Looks just more abstract geometric. I decided to look what other countries have done and found this Polish pattern.

I would really like this. Looks just more natural and not military like. I wonder if RSBTR could reproduce this?

RSBTR definitely would move a ton of that camo on the left

I think that's called lozenge pattern. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lozenge_camouflage

Before the advent of radar, various navies experimented with camo patterns for their ships, the most famous of which is called Dazzle. However, this camo wasn't intended to hide the ship, but rather to confuse the enemy who was targeting it. I couldn't find any color photos of these ships (but I didn't look very hard either), they must have been pretty garish!

That is somewhat reminiscent of the geocam that RSBR is offering with their OutdoorINK Netless Hammock kit. Maybe that fabric is available outside of the kit, but I didn't see it. It really looks like a cool pattern.

Most of them were black and white.

My understanding is that the different-sized stripes made it harder to use ranging reticles in periscopes. They would range to determine how far away the ships were and set torpedo arming fuses based on that, so if you could confuse the issue there was a better chance the torp would arm either early or after it passed the target.
