Back in the day, it was considered prudent to repaint your pirate satellite TV to make it look less obvious. Knowing about the dazzle idea, I did bright white and dark black in rectangular blocks to break up the shape of the dish. After I was done and the dish was on the roof I realized I had reinvented a fairly conventional urban camo scheme. It was the same as used on the pictured tanks.

Afterwards I realized the weaknesses of such a scheme. Against an actual urban background it was quite effective in preventing perception of the oval shape of a satellite dish. Backlit by a bright sky, not so much. The oval shadow cast by the dish in sunlight was also quite easy to detect.

It was very effective in the specific combination of urban landscape and shadows of Berlin. However the Brigade were only expected to fight there until being overrun by the NVA* ( East German Army ) so they didn't need to consider the camouflage's performance in rural areas.

All modern multi-terrain camouflage does incorporate some aspects of the Berlin pattern, particularly contrasting shadow.

* The NVA's commitment to wider WarPac strategy was questionable so the Brigade was intended to inflict both physical and philosophical damage upon them whilst fighting for their capital; once that objective was seized, it was hoped that the NVA would show little further interest in pushing westward. This was intended to reinforce the forecast reluctance of Czechoslovak and Polish forces and lead to the isolation of Soviet forces.

my new fav camo after the sukhoi blue . nice. thx for sharing.
