If your smart about it then yes, it does work but of course its not guarenteed and works best if not moving and not out in the open (obviously), and if you have to have the right camo for the environment, e.g. green woodland camo wont work on a ice planet you know.

One of my favorite camo memories was me sitting in a lightning on hossin near a base and not 1 but 3 prowlers passed right by me not even noticing me, I was right near some rocks in some water and not moving turret aimed down... after they were gone i went and destroyed a nearby sunderer... im sure if i were the standard grey and blue of the NC lightning they would have seen me and turned me into a pile of flaming wreckage and then use that flaming wreckage to roast marshmallows, but thanks to the dark green camo i had (dont ask me for a name right now) i came out unharmed

Thats why i ALWAYS change my camo to match the planet im fighting on, doesnt matter what you are, infantry, vehicle or max, in a game where life or death is measured in miliseconds, if you can fool your opponent into thinking your not even there for a moment it means you have a higher chance of success...

Or you can have more fun equiping a camo that looks alittle like your enemies standard uniform and potentially confuse them long enough for you to do some damage (or have camo so outrageously visible that people need to do a double take to check if your friend or foe) ... just be careful when trying to blend in with NC ... we have a habit of "accidentally" killing team mates anyway.

It can also be decrotive too, some factions even have a "uniform" pattern where all members must attempt to wear it at all times... it is weirdly odd and entertaining when you see a squad or platoon full of pink or bright yellow camo dropping from galaxys of the same colour then them proceeding to turn the tide of battle only to ride off into the sunset victorious afterwards (or at least off to the next base)
