Are there any existing pictures / clothes in the Iraqi "Eichenlaubmuster" pattern?
Obviously, the pattern itself is taken straight from the 3rd Reich, but this specific variation of it with arid / desert colours really piques my interest. Camopedia says only a few examples ever made it out of the Gulf War and its speculated that these uniforms were made in Kuwait.
I'd love to see any other pictures of this pattern, because orange / yellow dominant camos are already my favorite, and Oakleaf is one of my favorite patterns in the camoverse.

PSA: Tunisia
I hate how the AI can't traverse around rocks, and how the tanks themselves can't destroy them. Why didn't the germans just make their tanks out of whatever these rocks are made out of? Are they stupid?

Inquiry regarding the sniper veil on the M70 Swiss jacket
Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but I might aswell since you guys really like concealment;
Is it true that the sniper veil on the M70 jacket provides infrared protection? I thought it was a neat thing but I don't remember where I originally read it and wanted to check if it was true

Which pattern would you not (or very reluctantly) wear under any circumstance?
Not just for the field, but which camo pattern would you NEVER (or only rarely ever) use?
For me, here aren't many patterns I wouldn't use (as I tend to use camouflage / milsurp as streetwear), but there are the obvious problem childs like rhodie Bushstroke and the various patterns conceived by WW2 Germany (which are unfortunately very drippy)
There can be a case made for these patterns, with a version of Brushstroke being utilized by modern day Zimbabwe and Third Reich patterns such as Oakleaf being commonly looted and used by resistances in occupied countries (like the Polish Home Army), along with Leibermuster being turned into the Alpenflage (most) of us love today by the Swiss
Those are probably the only patterns I'd REALLY consider not using, as there is a non-zero chance I'd get approached by some weirdo chud or confronted by a concerned history nerd (good luck trying to explain why you're rocking a waffen SS pattern) on the street and in today's society you'd definitively get a few (possibly well deserved) accusations on your person.
