Isnt that with a completely unusable heightmap however (ie 1000x1000m for each grid)? In comparison if Chernarus is 12x12km at max res its got a 3x3m grid size...

The 4.3 billion was for the max amount of objects, no? I think you'd run out of memory way before that, lol! (not to mention patience)

Hmm since the wrp will get binarized the maximum object count decreases to 71.582.788.

Q: Due to ArmA II having the same Engine that VBS II has. Is it possible to make a map 10000 km2 like the one in VBS II? If not. Why not? If so. How much of the CPU would it take from the overall function of the game?
