Truth to be told, the pattern itself just don't say "military machine" if you ask me. More like something you find on robots in that cheap supermarket on the outskirts of town.
Well, there were many strange patterns before when military experimented with them. I'm almost sure that something similar existed, though perhaps as an uniform pattern, not vehicle pattern. With a scientifical decline in the Inner Sphere after Succession Wars you can imagine some planetary militias painting their mechs in less-than-optimal fashion.
Virus pattern has some benefits as it combines larger elements (stripes) with smaller ("worms" of two colors inside those stripes), though you should carefully choose contrasting coors for both features to work. But stripes unfortunately are too regular in shape, add to this the need to carefully choose colors, and I will prefer Digital or Fractal over it.
Theoretically, of course. The game isn't in purchasable state for me, and with all recent delays and scandals I doubt it will ever become.
