Applying to BT

Which Division of Gentleman Gaming(Super Secret Gentleman's Squadron, Blue Turret, MEN, or Heavy Turret) are you looking to join?
BT
Which Game(s) are you interested in taking part in?
World of Tanks
In Game Account(s):
Icarus39
Age:
39
Previous Clans:
Greyskul
Reasons why you left those groups:
Closed minded and weak CW tactics.  Select group seem to break in to CW, even though I'd show up 4-5 days a week, I might get in to 1 CW match.
What is the favorite tank you've played and why, as well as a run down of your highest tier vehicle:
Why do I have to have a favorite?  I've researched a ton and love nearly all of them.  I have 12 tier 10s, I still have to buy the 110E4, waiting for a discount.
If Gates could touch you anywhere, where would you let them touch you:
Depends of whether my wife liked Gates, if she didn't, it's a no go.
If you could be an animal, what would you be and why?:
I wouldn't.  Animals tend to be stuffed and put in people's showcases.  Preferably mine.
If Gates calls you in the middle of the night to discuss sexual fantasies, what do you do?:
Put Gates on speaker and have a good time with the wife.
What makes you want to join our Community?:
I'm looking to step up my game, Redblade messaged me and I think I might be a great fit.
Previous Clan Wars experience?:
I play and do what I'm told when it suits the best for the battle and do what needs to be done when the plan goes to shit.
The clan has to invest into every player that joins, what can you, the player, invest back into the clan?:
I'm a gamer.  I'm a dad, a school teacher, a high school soccer coach and a retired SGT E5 from the Army.  I like to win and achieving that in a team atmosphere is what I do best.  I can invest a solid 4 nights or more a week in to helping BT win and hold territory in CW.  If I grow to like you, I'll even let you buy me a beer.

Holy mother of tanks Batman! That's a lot of 10s.

Just looking at your tanks and such, i would say the chances of you getting into BT might be a bit slim. Might i suggest SSGS or HT?

Redblade messaged me and recruited me, so I'm not sure what other tanks I'd need to get in to BT, but let's see what happens Joey.

Well icarus you do have experience and plenty of armor to pick from, but. I agree with Joey, based on, well the fact that your 60 day is worse than your overall.

You know what i'll wait for parcki to comment on this one.

Oh, I totally agree that my 60 day has been low.  I just finished my soccer season so my playing time had been pretty low since September.  I just got back up and running this weekend the way I'd usually play.

Its not about what other tanks you need its about how well you can play the tanks

Icarus thanks for the app. 

Everything is borderline so we're going to need to perform with you and see whats up.

My advice: Bring a mouthguard.

Parckie likes to use 2 hands.

Get ready for a good old Western style grip reach around.

here we go.

I'm good with platooning.  I'll jump on TS Wednesday or Thursday afternoon/evenings and look you guys up before CW start up.

Clever.

Are you more angry that I did it, or angry that it took you a couple days to catch it?

What the hell Parkie gives reach arounds? When did that change?

Icarus. I should be on in 1-2 hours if you are on TS I will platoon with you.

Silly silly gatesy. He's my hero

I had a chance to platoon with him twice. 

Decent enough tanker. Has room for improvement, but don't we all. 

After talking with the guy and seeing his play style, it does not seem like BT is a good fit. I don't think he would be happy in BT and if he won't be happy, then this is not the place for him. 

Wish him luck, but it will be a pass for me.

Iscarus at this point I would suggest that you join Heavy Turret. The BT roster is filled up right now but HT is doing some great stuff and if you like our community they would be a great place for you .

If your interested go ahead and edit your topic title, and get on teamspeak and talk to an HT recruiter.

I'm good.  Appreciate it.

Okay, so I started looking at stats, and figured that I'd just stop at 10 players, because of those 10 players, 1 BT player has better stats than I do.  I dwarf Storm's stats and am equal to or better than the rest of BT that I looked up. So if you would, let me know more specifically what I need to work on.  I like the community, but HT isn't the type of clan I'm looking for, so it'll be BT or nothing for me.

I don't know what stats you're looking at, but 95 out of 100 members in BT have better stats than you. You have a 1220 60-day WN7 and 95 other players have higher stats than that. Also, your stats are going down, not up and that's not something a clan like BT wants. Yesterday when you "kicked my ass" was because I RNG'd 2 shots into your mantlet. You're not supposed to fight over the hills on westfield in an E100. It worked out for you because you had a competent WTE100 covering your ass and I had a potato team. I dont want to judge your play from one match combined with your stats, but I'm not sure it would be a fit at BT. When I get a chance to play some more, Ill platoon a couple with you and see if my opinion changes.

Also, storm beats you on 60 day WN7.

Im not sure what stats you were looking at. BT's Average 60 day Win7 is @ 1749. Yours is at 1220. 

The Damage per game in your 50B needs to be worked on. Damage per game in your T10 stats are ok, but not something that will directly benefit the roster. 

One of the main reasons Im saying no for now for BT is that you were required to platoon with some BT guys who would then post on your application. If you had gotten 5 BT guys to say yes on your app I probably would have said yes, but there weren't a whole lot of positive things.

At this point the campaign is going on and the roster is 100% locked for about a week. If you want to work on your 60day stats and get ur damages up in your T10s feel free to re-apply when the campaign is over and I start removing inactives.

Z, where are you finding those stats?  I used noobmeter.com.  Also, Z, if you noticed in our battle, I was the only person that kept you and the IS7 and IS8 from flanking all the TDs that went to the hills and there was no arty, so the spot I was in, was dead on to the success that we had.

^Bt's average 60 day



^Your stats. Rather than improving you've apparently been getting progressively worse.
