Default Stryker camouflage

Getting straight to the point, why isn't the Stryker using NATO camouflage pattern? AFAIK, they're using the standard olive green as an universal camo. But as I saw in recent pics, the M2 Bradley is still using NATO camouflage. Would the Stryker ever receive NATO camouflage, or would it stick with olive green? If yes, then why? And would the same thing happen eventually to all the other camouflaged vehicles in the U.S. Army?

There was a big debate on this when the Stryker was first put in-game; we had it in NATO camo but we were informed by a Stryker crewman that the thing was green, olive green, only green and that the US Army would be damned before the thing was available in any other colour, even in non-green theatres.

The post is still out there somewhere, I'm sure if you search around you'll be able to drag it up. But yeah, the Stryker is a like a modern day Model-T Ford - you can have it in any colour you want, so long as you want it green

The exact reasons are, as others have alluded to, unknown to nearly all of us lol.

Wouldn't be the first piece of intel they got wrong about Iraq


I think they are applying reversed psychology to the art of camouflage, You see the enemy is going to be looking for a sand colored vehicle not a green one
