sexo camouflage

this thing was cool as fuck

>>64110493 (OP)
The Italians win on a pound-for-pound basis even though they're inconsistent but n terms of "lmao what the fuck is that thing", the Soviets and the French take it home.

>>64110493 (OP)
Probably China

>>64110922
that does have some nice clean lines

post examples

I'll throw cold-war Sweden in the ring. Saab's canards, armor like the Ikv 91 + CV90, and even humble trucks like Volvo's C-series Terrängbil 13 have a ruggedly handsome form, all wrapped in the beautiful FOA/M90 universal camouflage.

>>64110493 (OP)
I enjoy evolution of IDF aesthetics from bootstrapping the Sherman in to anything and everything to the modern day mobile oppression cages and towers look.

>>64110493 (OP)
Sweden has a good track record of having unique aesthetics that also didn't suck.

>>64110985
post images i'd like to see

>>64110999
>>64111014
something that would make the anti-christ proud

>>64110985
>Ikv 91
genuinely sexy in these colours

>>64110926
I usually hate stealth superstructures because of that conehead shit but it still has enough going on to not look like a low poly wedge. Mexico also has aesthetic stuff going on.

>>64111014
What the fuck lmao

>>64111045
I'm sure, was collecting images of more merit than a simple wiki-read would turn up.

it's just a good, solid metal bawks

Sven, get the bigger Gustaf

>>64110985
Don't forget the TP21.

These things give me a hard-on that could cut diamond.

Even goes on watercraft like the Stridsbat 90

>>64111208
It was meant to be inclusive, even the pretty ones I didn't know existed :)

>>64111208
Oh that one looks really cool.
In mint condition like that, it looks surprisingly modern. Despite much of the design language screaming 40s-50s. Neat.

>>64111084

I don't like the canards for some reason just my personal taste

As much as I hate the soviets, some of their designs did look quite cool.

>>64111212
this looks sexy love forward raking windshields on boats

>>64111238
I really think a lot japanese anime was influenced by soviet design in the 80's.

>>64111238
Mi-24 has that soviet space age look: BALLS

Imagination is important too, so here's Saab's Project 1300-71, a distant cousin of the Avro Vulcan that never grew past small-scale models due to cancellation of their nuclear weapons program.

>>64111265
>We have Blackbird at home

>>64111247
this looks super cool reminds of 80's movie jackets where they're all puffy like that or cold war era flak jackets

>>64111238
...until you look at it from anywhere but the doctored photo op angle that russian propaganda departments distribute

>>64111315
Still alot more aesthetically pleasing than the A model.

>>64111315
Aircraft don't have to be symmetric (often done to counter torque forces) and warmachines doubly so. The brutal functionality is part of the charm, and the Mi-24 pairs those constraints with an unusually organic form.

>>64111327
>Aircraft don't have to be symmetric
they also don't have to not be god aufully ugly
>The brutal functionality is part of the charm
you're just a shit eater

>>64111315
But that brings the BALLS aesthetic out even better.

Absolut soviet space punk.

>>64111315
probably just a flat tire bro
>>64111327
thanks ai

>>64110931
Much better looking without that flanker family's long ass stick.

>>64110999
I like that they've kept the olive drab for their uniforms

I really do like the Soviet aesthetics.

>>64111338
>>64111345
You're allowed to like soviet hardware here, war tourists. It was usually designed by Ukrainians, Poles and other occupied peoples.

>>64111429
I just said the reason it was offcentre isn't some design flaw but probably it's on old helicopter that has been sitting for ages and one of the tires has slightly deflated giving it an offcentre look but some autist like you could never conceive of such a thing and it must of been designed that way to be offcentre on purpose

>>64110493 (OP)
Austrias armored Bat-Mobile?

>>64111440
My mistake, though I don't appreciate being called a bot because I type like an academic and thus took the tire comment to be sarcastic. Let's dispense with rudeness and return to posting nations with interesting design language. I've already dumped a sample of the Ikea catalog.

>>64111315
Meh, Im polish and I saw them up close many times, they are cool.

COLD WAR ERA KINO

These jackets were based.

>>64111504
Not sure if this is original from the photo but i really like this camo

Some of you yanks had some cool shit.

>>64111499
that gas mask was (is) a fucking nightmare, it's literally almost impossible to breathe through that fucking tube, and it fogs up in a second, set was issued vaseline paste to smear the glass, to help, but it's fucking shit too.

>>64110999
That's an American D9 Bulldozer

Filters had asbestos.

>>64111516
Why don't Hammericans paint cool shit on their planes no more?

Poles and other cunts do it.

>>64111606
I think after the vietnam war due to the massive access the media had during the war showing how things were going down each night on the news in peoples living room. So trivialising a war machine or attempting to make it more menacing looking with teeth and eyes with nose art wasn't something the general public could stomach anymore considering they were dumping agent orange or napalm on people.

Theirs a variety of politically correct reasons like weight reduction, camo/stealth, standardisation, cost etc...

>>64111606
We do, especially now that senior command has largely gotten over their concern for what CNN will think.

>>64111606
this is kino

>>64111371
They kept the olive drab but the new uniforms look less irregular, uglier, and now they look like US cops in ranger green

>>64110493 (OP)
Your eyes deceive you: this is only modern armored combat vehicle Belgium has ever locally produced in it's entirety (for export; ironic). Both it and the Ratel derive from the same engineering design study, but unlike it's brother the SIBMAS is fully amphibious comes standard with a Cockerill 90.
Not sure I'd label it the best, but if one appreciates this style it's perhaps more deserving of the title than South Africa due to the latter's heavy preference for function at the expense of form (Buffel and co.)

Paired with FN, it's certainly an aesthetic.

>>64111526

Implessive, surely America will fall in 2 weeks!

>>64111208
I need one. Posting it might be cheating though because cars have been getting steadily uglier and uglier since the early 50s. Even the Opel Blitz looks cool and it’s just a truck. Give it tracks to make it even cooler, but that’s also cheating because half tracks are inherently cool.

Let's all just admit that looking good is half the battle.

even tho i hate yanks...

>>64111997

>>64112214
one may not like it but it is definitely a look

>>64111238
>>64111315
>>64111321
Super Hind looks cool too. The Mi-24 generally look insectoidal, cool but evil.

Surprisingly the British may have the best looking armored car ever made, but being a Rolls Royce certainly gave it a head start.

>>64111265
Fugg, that's the über Viggen 9000.

>>64112248
I wonder if Neallis got to fly one.

>>64111429
the only soviet hardware that looks good is the designs they stole from abroad. get fucked vatnik footrag.

>>64115035
Hey now, most people have enough sense to not build enkroplans. That was was homegrown.

>>64112280
it seems a bit cartoon is it okay if i say that

>>64111208
Too bad these things are rare as hell and expensive as fuck.
There are probably fewer than 150 of them left in the world.
They only made like 700 of them, and most of them were used and abused until they were worn out and scrapped.
They're also REALLY difficult to drive compared to modern cars because they've got an extremely old fashioned synchronized "crash-box" transmission.

>>64111444
That's not even the best Austrian armored car.

>>64115207
Of course, I would a picture with the Czechoslovakian flag in it because I'm dumb. Here's the same vehicle but in Austria this time.

>>64115109
Do you have a license to say it?

>>64115110
It looks cool but it also makes me think of a VW beetle that hit the gym WAY too hard.

>>64115214
I have obtained the permit to make commentry but I am not licensed to cause offense nor was it intended.

Unironically China. they have the most consistently cohesive aesthetics where infantry and vehicle camo differ only in scale, across all arms of the PLA. The PLAN white ships are just kino, PLAAF liveries are very simple but elegant, the PLANMC is extremely distinct with the blue camo (unfortunately not used anymore), and even the smaller services like rocketry forces have a very cohesive aesthetic and identity. All their militaria look like units in an RTS and it is just simply kino

>>64115252
unified cohesive aesthetic across the entire military

>>64115255
white ships and red flag is very striking and unforgettable

>>64115255
Soviet/10

>>64115268
I mean look at this shit. no one's made anything like this before. kino

>>64115272
or this. it's reveal reminds me of how large of a shock that MIG-25 was on the western intelligence community

I like how they make Russian designs look very sleek and professional. very tasteful livery and markings

>>64115272
why do you think no ones made anything like this before

very sleek and streamlined design, which works really well with the black here. gives it a very dynamic and graceful quality

>>64115277
Because there aren't any other examples. Allied landing equipment at Normandy was nowhere this advanced or survivable. It has capabilities that no prior craft has had

New uniform is interesting. It's scaled way too small and could use the same ERDL>M81 treatment: larger scale and more saturated, simpler colors. the fractal design is very cool, but it seems limited by having the details way to small to be effective from combat distance

PAP digital tiger stripe is fucking amazing, and I'll die on this hill. very distinctive, effective, futuristic, and similar enough to PLA camo, but still noticeably different

The Type 99 always looks great in its camo schemes and is just very aesthetic and satisfying to look at. platonic ideal of a tank

this is some command and conquer shit

the old PLARF type-07 camo was basically a digitized M81

the calming cerulean blue of the PLANAF

>>64115279
>WZ-10 is aesthetic
You have slant eyes, dont you ?

drone swarm launcher. guided munition katyusha

gorgeous plane

exquisite taste, very sleek

even a simple flag raise ceremony is done in such an extra way

Sorry mate but I think the russian insectoid 80's design is more based the current china shit.

>>64115384
Chinese glory posting is strong today

>>64110493 (OP)
nothing comes close to soviet aesthetic for me, they had this biological component to their designs, they looks very retro-futuristic now even more than back in the day. modern russian stuff is sovless tho.

>>64111440
how does a flat tire explain the cockpit being obviously out of line with the center of the fuselage underneath the main rotor you blind retard

Anyone remember when Eugen made an rts where this thing was featured?

>>64116491
sorry champ i'm not some aerospace engineer so I just look for the simplest reasons why things might be not aligned I really don't have a dog in the fight so yeah maybe it's done on purpose, maybe it's a design flaw I really couldn't give a shit but what I do know is it looks cool

Looks very much like the vickers mk 11.

>>64111208
>>64115110
I have ridden in one that was still original.
3 tons of steel being pushed by a 90 horsepower (when new) engine.
Acceleration is measured in minutes.
Looks very cool though and are very rare, most of the ones that are still around are heavily modified for off-roading or turned into hot-rodesque frankenstein cars.

>>64115287
>Allied landing equipment at Normandy was nowhere this advanced or survivable. It has capabilities that no prior craft has had
oh interesting. that must be the only reason.

Soviet Union. Say what you will about commies, at least they knew how to use aesthetics.

>>64120963
I mean, god DAMN

>>64115252
I mean for naval use that could be nice but they look absolutely retarded with light blue camo covered in ferns and useless face paint in that picture

>>64120979
I mean it obviously looks stupid, but I find it endearing and aesthetic like vaporwave. the PLANMC consider themselves to be naval infantry rather than marines which means they only do landings and don't go further in land. the theory behind the camo is to protect during the two most dangerous phases of landings, while still in the water, and for IFF during naval direct fire. It's not different than modern IFF armbands but scaled up to a whole uniform. they were much more concerned about properly directing naval fires than hiding troops on a beach where the enemy already knows you are landing.

but yeah, it's goofy and they don't use it anymore
