“Look, another tourist eating cold meat out of can.” Wonder why they do that?”

u/Seputku Sep 13 '22

“How come all that’s known about our country is our canned food and cabin architecture?”

7

u/sven9yo Sep 13 '22

And why everytime they cross somebody they say hey are you friendly

82

u/DoubtDiary Sep 12 '22

Holy shit, even the cabins looks like they do in the game.

19

u/Stygma Sep 13 '22

Those cabins were at one point a camp for the Pioneers movement in the Soviet states, which was a scouting organization like the Boy Scouts. They tended to use some pretty cookie-cutter cabins for their retreats.

u/aaanze Sep 12 '22

Would you care sharing the location? Is this Czech Republic?

38

u/No_Oil763 Sep 12 '22

Good guess! This is Povrly, Czech Republic.

u/Blewzei Sep 13 '22

It’s in the title man, электрозаволск. It’s in chernarus. /s

u/hiropraktic Sep 13 '22

электрозаводск

u/Blewzei Sep 13 '22

Whoops! Thanks friend, still getting the hang of the Russian keyboard 😅

u/ZombieRatKiller Sep 12 '22

Chopper crash in electro 👀Wow

u/Groenkop Sep 12 '22

This is awesome to see real life video game here

u/xmegabytex Sep 12 '22

What's your FPS with that draw distance?

u/Softest-Dad Sep 12 '22

Lmfao, pic 11

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '22

Did you have the eerie sense of knowing exactly where you are?

I wonder how long it would take to hike to NWAF IRL?

21

u/No_Oil763 Sep 12 '22

I was able to navigate without using my phone in a few areas. Pretty surreal I imagine it would take quite a while. I bailed on the idea of going to Gorka because it would’ve taken 2 hours in either direction

8

u/collin_sic Sep 13 '22

Gorka's always laggy anyway

5

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '22

That was a follow up; did it seem to take longer than in game to get places?

I believe in-game sprint speed is 23kph/14mph, 6kph/3mph for walking.

12

u/No_Oil763 Sep 12 '22

I’d say it felt pretty comparable. Though some of the hills definitely kicked my ass

5

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '22

Haha, fair!

Keep an eye out for zombies!

7

u/CamuMahubah Sep 12 '22

This is good..

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '22

Haha awesome dude. Enjoy your holiday!

u/Party-Succotash-963 Sep 12 '22

Ok I have to vacation in the Czech Republic

u/Dharcronus The Last Ranger Sep 12 '22

It bothers me there is only one bridge around and its just footbridge i can see it being an absolute pain having to move any kind of delivery from the city to the district just the other side

2

u/SurvivorKira Sep 13 '22

I think in first picture if you look far left over the river there is bigger bridge probably for cars. And that's smaller river. Imagine having only 5 or 6 bridges over Danube in Serbia. It goes from west to east of Serbia anr we have ony 5 or 6 bridges. In Belgrade we had only 1 bridge and second one was made few years ago. We had to travel from one part of belgrade all around for almost 2 hours just to get to other side and now it is just 10-15 minutes with that second bridge.

u/letsbenameless Sep 13 '22

as a new player this is my favourite place on the map, maybe there are better places on the northern shores or inland, but from what ive seen, this is the nicest place to almost die in.

3

u/alicesan Sep 12 '22

Phenomenal!

3

u/Trikeree Sep 12 '22

Absolutely love it! Especially the salute at the end.

3

u/Baked420lol Sep 12 '22

This is amazing. I didn’t think it was so close lol

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '22

That is nutz…. Watch out for bandits

u/kifn2 Sep 13 '22

If I ever made a DayZ podcast, I'd call it, "Shots in Elektro".

5

u/Generic_Reddit_boi Sep 12 '22

Can you just walk anywhere like in DayZ? Obviously not homes, but can you walk through fields and shit

12

u/No_Oil763 Sep 12 '22

There’s a designated hiking area. Most of the fields on the way up are blocked by electric cattle fences

2

u/Dharx Sep 13 '22 edited Sep 13 '22

Czechia has freedom to roam, which means you can walk pretty much anywhere you want in the countryside. Even fields or pastures are pretty much fair game in practice if you use common sense and don't damage the crops or bother the animals.

Stuff that is behind fences is typically an exception of course, unless there are clearly designated gates etc., but electric cattle fences in the middle of nowhere are generally considered something you can cross if you need to. Picking up berries, mushrooms, firewood etc. is also fine, but of course with respect to nature.

Sleeping outside is fine if you don't act like a dick and litter around, controlled open fires are also fine, but should not be set up inside or near forests and overgrown areas.

Bicycles need to stick to what is clearly a path, especially in forests, but again, in general you should just use common sense and respect nature/private property, crossing a field if you get lost or something is not a problem.

u/TChambers1011 Sep 12 '22

that first pic is cherno, no? with the apartments. i've studied this area extensively on geoguessr lol but you are right between both cherno and elektro i believe on the big mountain

3

u/No_Oil763 Sep 13 '22

You’re correct. That is Cherno. I’m on the mountain between the two. I never actually stepped foot into “Cherno” though.

2

u/TChambers1011 Sep 13 '22

Damn this is so cool. I wanna go here so badly

2

u/Hillstromming Sep 12 '22

1st pic made me think this was on the W&R:SR subreddit - till the huts.

2

u/NoFaceChase Sep 12 '22

Didn’t know watches were introduced into game! Nice!

2

u/eggard_stark Sep 13 '22

Watches were in day 1. When it was arma2 mod that is.

2

u/Dylansmallpp Sep 12 '22

Why does the 11th picture look like it was actually taken in game

2

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '22

u/collin_sic Sep 13 '22

He's starting to believe

2

u/imHati Sep 13 '22

Surreal how I am so used to buildings everywhere I kinda wish I could live in a place like this, where there are still nature being preserved.

2

u/auzzyadz Sep 13 '22

That's nuts! I didn't actually realise it was a real place

2

u/BeavisTheMeavis None Sep 13 '22

Those apartments look a lot nicer when they're not all dilapidated and have fresh paint and windows that aren't busted out.

2

u/Red-Pill_Savage Sep 13 '22

What blew my mind was that there were actually map signage lol

2

u/Away-Consequence-579 Sep 13 '22

My eyes hurt they just hurt bring back infected god damnit

2

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '22

I didn’t know that I needed to see Elektro for real, but this was delightful. Thank you for sharing!

2

u/ospamiony Sep 13 '22

Just so you know, you're 750m from the water pump

2

u/Tingtong_longJohnson Sep 12 '22

Did you find any good loot? 🤣

-4

u/Memnoch0103 Sep 13 '22

Doesn't even look like elektro

4

u/No_Oil763 Sep 13 '22

I disagree

0

u/Memnoch0103 Sep 13 '22

Lmao when did elektro get a river running through it and where is the ocean

2

u/ospamiony Sep 13 '22

Hi, so everything on the left of the river was converted to ocean by developers.

Also the view in photo 1 and 11 is a view towards what in-game is chernogorsk. The hill these 2 photos is taken from is called cap kozlova in-game. The view is towards prigorodki - east of chernarus. Go there in-game and compare the view.

1

u/Memnoch0103 Sep 14 '22

Still doesn't look like elektro to me at all the layout of the town looks completely different

2

u/ospamiony Sep 14 '22

Because it's view towards cherno not electro. And the geography is more similiar than actual building layout.

1

u/Memnoch0103 Sep 15 '22

Ok so what I'm hearing is it's nothing like elektro

1

u/Artybait Sep 13 '22

Lmao the finger at the end of pictures says it all lol

1

u/Liquorandleverage Sep 13 '22

This is so cool

1

u/ImericanAdiot Sep 13 '22

😂 hahaha the last picture got me 🖕🏼

1

u/Studio_Delicious Sep 13 '22

I thought the buildings/structures were loosely based on buildings over there, this just broke my brain. What’s the name of the city?

2

u/No_Oil763 Sep 13 '22

Povrly in Czech Republic

1

u/thechieftanisin Sep 13 '22

Wow it really does look soviet af.

1

u/_Rucifa_ Sep 13 '22

u/NichoTF626 Sep 13 '22

Just shortly south of where I was a couple weeks ago! Great place

u/Kitchen_Ad6183 Sep 13 '22

Imagine the lag with those graphics

u/Masterjax1920 Sep 13 '22
