stupidwhitekid75 11 Posted December 23, 2010 Has anyone noticed these signs in the editor before? I don't remember ever really seeing them since before I updated to 1.57 but it's likely that they might have been there and I just overlooked them. The fact that Czech forces aren't present in any of the campaigns made me wonder why there would be FOB signs. To check, I searched the names of both FOB's on the forums and found nothing, then I looked them up on the internet and I didn't really find anything relevant to A2 other then the fact that they were places in CZ, one was a town and the other a mountain. Only reason I was curious and looked a little more into it is because it brought me back to this picture http://www.aan-online.com/images/stories/news/jac_img17.jpg of what looks like the entrance to a Czech base. On one of the signs (the one for Blanik) it had "Dum Spiro Spero" which happened to be the 601st Czech SF motto. I thought it could either have something to do with the 601st helping in capture the Radayev guy in South Zagoria (http://www.aan-online.com/en/europe/28-radayev-extradition-approved.html) or it was just there since the 601st had already been modeled in game. Edit: What gave me the idea was how in BAF we got those two PMC contractors, it was kind of like a not-so-obvious reference to the future release of PMC and I thought maybe they'd done something like it again. Anyways enough with the probably pointless speculation, has anyone else ever noticed these before? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnimalMother92 10 Posted December 23, 2010 Interesting. Also I remember unPBOing the OA missions and finding a Dum Spiro Spero mission where you played as Czech SF but I don't recall seeing it in the scenario list. Hope we find out more soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roberthammer 582 Posted December 23, 2010 There will be ACR dlc for sure - sooner or later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icebreakr 3159 Posted December 23, 2010 Nice, a Chech map for DLC :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roberthammer 582 Posted December 23, 2010 btw this Czech Presence in ChernarusCzech forces have recently played an important role following the deployment of a U.S. Marine Expeditionary Force in 2009. The largest part of the NATO contingent present in Chernarus on Peacekeeping Operations, Czech forces have assisted in the supervision of reconstruction programmes in South Zagoria. Czech forces are scheduled to remain in Chernarus until 2012, who alongside the British Armed Forces, will assist in training exercises and regional development programmes. BIS give us that DLC now! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glowbal 13 Posted December 23, 2010 They were there before patch 1.57. I used the sign(s) way before patch 1.57, even before 1.55. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deadfast 43 Posted December 23, 2010 They were there before patch 1.57. I used the sign(s) way before patch 1.57, even before 1.55. I can confirm this as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stupidwhitekid75 11 Posted December 23, 2010 Thanks Deadfast & Glowbal, I wasn't entirely sure if they had been or not. Thanks for clearing it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakerod 254 Posted December 24, 2010 Nice, a Chech map for DLC :) I'm fairly sure those pictures are on a modified version of Chernarus or something. Picture 1. That is on Chernarus somewhere. Picture 2. I think the town in the background of this one is Mogilevka with the Castle Zub in the background as well. It looks like its taken from the South-East of Mogilevka and North-West of Pusta.

stupidwhitekid75 11 Posted December 24, 2010 What about this http://www.ion-inc.com/img/intro2.jpg ? Is that in Chernarus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roberthammer 582 Posted December 24, 2010 What about this http://www.ion-inc.com/img/intro2.jpg ?Is that in Chernarus? I can tell you like this - is there a lake/river in Chernarus? ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stupidwhitekid75 11 Posted December 24, 2010 Thats what I thought. That + the Chernarus looking map means what? Two new maps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnimalMother92 10 Posted December 24, 2010 A smaller map somewhere in Chernarus with enterable buildings would be amazing :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stupidwhitekid75 11 Posted December 24, 2010 Agreed. I dunno though, it might really kill FPS with open furnished buildings and all the trees. In Takistan we didn't have it anywhere near as bad because of how open and mostly treeless it is there in a lot of parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monotone 3 Posted December 25, 2010 Center symbol on 'FOB Blanik' must be Czech 4th Rapid Deployment Brigade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stupidwhitekid75 11 Posted December 25, 2010 (edited) I seriously looked for that forever, couldn't find out what it represented. Nice find! Edit: It appears the 4th Rapid Deployment Brigade is made up of two mechanized infantry battalions and one airborne battalion. Pictures: http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?64105-Czech-Armed-Forces-(about-50-various-new-pics)/page163 Seems they have more of the MICH (I think?) styled helmet that the Delta Force SF have in OA. We already have a Czech Mi-8 but that other helicopter that sort of resembles a Puma would be a nice addition. TBH, if everything here was included: http://www.army.cz/images/id_9001_10000/9982/05.jpg, along with http://www.army.cz/images/id_10001_11000/10133/01.jpg it would make an awesome addition to the game. A few retextures and the introduction of a few new models could create something close to an ArmA version of full deployment. T-72's, BMP-2's, Land Rovers (both armed and transport versions), M-17's, Mi-24's area all already in game..all that needs to be done is a reskin of each (with the exception of the armed Land Rover and M-17 since they are already found in the ACR aresenal). Add in the Pandur APC (second picture), the Iveco LMV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iveco_LMV) and a PZL W-3 Sokol (with two variants...W-3T for transport and W-3R as a support like the UH-60 MEDEVAC) to complete it and you'd have yourself a nice little slice of the Czech Armed Forces. One of the screen shots they released resembles a Tatra, it could be tweaked to be turned into an AA version as well as a troop transport. Digging through a little bit of info on fixed wing aircraft and I found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aero_L-159_Alca ...looks a lot like the Takistani air force jet? I heard they use MiG's as well, which are present in A2. Both would again be reskins and would add fixed wing air support to their side. Add a few infantry units in and you're set. Would make for an awesome DLC, not a lot of new units would have to be created as most are already in game. Thats my 2 cents worth.

Steakslim 1 Posted December 25, 2010 I can tell you like this - is there a lake/river in Chernarus? ;) I thought it was decided that was the southern coast of Chernarus with that one island not too far off the coast? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Imperator[TFD] 444 Posted December 26, 2010 I thought it was decided that was the southern coast of Chernarus with that one island not too far off the coast? Well unless the water levels receded significantly and a small volcanic eruption occurred I'd say not.:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
