Why DayZ Is Based In Ukraine

[WuBz_Da_Boss 10]

I Can Say That That Chernarus Is Based In Ukraine Because Of The Military Zombie's Where Wearing The Ukrainian Flag, Some T90/BMP'S Have The Flag On It To.

 

Here Is Some Screen Shots To Help My Evidence

Chernarus is a made up country. Yes it's based on real areas but the country is not supposed to be in Ukraine I don't believe.

We Never Know The Dev's Do Maybe? 50/50 Chance.

Ukraine flag is Blue and Yellow, not Yellow and Green.

[ChainReactor 922]

It's the flag of the Chernarus Defence Force. Ukraine is blue - yellow, not yellow - green.

Oddly, enough...take all the Russian writing out, the signs with town names, the flags...

 

And Chernarus is basically identical to the Ozarks in Arkansas where I live.

 

The similarities in the terrain and foliage and landscape are, for me, actually somewhat eerie.

 

You know...minus the ocean. We don't have one of those.

I say the same thing about coastal New England. Without the Cyrillic writing, Day Z looks almost exactly like Autumn along the New Hampshire/Maine coast. The resemblance is uncanny.

Thats actually quite the observation to be honest. I was always wondering what that flag was considering the Russian one is Blue white and red.

 

But after reading everyone else's response yeah its yellow and blue. XD

HOW YUO OF MISTAKE GLORIOUS CHERNARUS FOR UKRAINIAN STINK.

[OrLoK 16182]

Hello there

 

Chernarus+ lives in its own little universe somewhat parallel to ours and that of Arma.

 

So, expect the unexpected and the unexplained.

 

Like me, Cherno+ can be whatever and wherever you want it to be.

 

Even if Dean says its all modeled on the town of Slough, it really doesnt matter, you can pretend its the US or the UK or Ukraine.

 

Rgds

We've had this thread a few times already.

 

Chernarus is no Ukraine. Its topology is based off of a real life location in the Czech Republic (Usti nad Labem). It is intended to be a (fictional!!) former soviet state.

 

As for wubz. Multi-accounting is a sin.

Is there a specific reason why the devs aren't clear with the lore?

 

I'm tired of these small mistakes and people having to dig through ArmA 2 websites just to get some rather out of the way background. Is this going to be addressed, or nah?

The only reason i can see that they dont put out a solid lore of cherno for dayz is once you put it in stone so to speak then when you add something in it has to fit the lore you have put down.

 

EG with no lore so to speak they are free to add whatever whenever they like and maybe when its all said and done they may explain some of the things there( like NZ special forces berrets when its highly unlikely NZ would be one of the countries coming to a ex soviet countries add when they dont have a strong military and are half a world away (far more likely britain france germany etc etc etc
