Chaps,
Hate to get off topic but there have been a number of factually incorrect ststements made about the new MTP to be fielded from this year (ops only).
It is derived from the Crye Precision Multicam and was actually designed by Crye for the UK to incorporate the existing DPM pattern. Crye Multicam is already used by 'others' and it was ONLY because of their persistence with DC DT that MTP became a reality. Whilst it will initially be fielded on ops only in the current fit/form/function of existing CS95, it will eventually be rolled out as part of the PECOC programme in due course.
It is an excellent cam replacement - fact. This has been proven by a combination of scientific research, user trials, operational feedback from 'others' as well as applying that good old fashioned sound military judgement. At a distance of approx 5 metres, there is no discernible difference between MTP and Multicam (pattern is not as important as colour and contrast).
Happy to field any further queries relating to MTP should you wish - I know a little bit about it.
