Zlehmann Application - zlehmann - 08-04-2020

Oh man, guess it depends how far back you wanna go. Red Baron, Some really bad F-16 game for like windows 96, War thunder, Aces high, IL-1946, Elite Dangerous, and now IL-2 Great Battles
Aircraft Preference:
I honestly don't care. I've been flying mostly german planes since my RL friends that play do that. I am much more interested in online play than they are, thus the search for a squadron to fly with. I would fly transports if it meant the team won. I'm all about being part of a team.
Personal Detail (Hobbies, Career, ect.)
I'm an environmental scientist by trade, trying to switch to become a web developer. I make my own beer and mead, am building a canoe in my basement, pretty hands on. I like building stuff. Also big nerd, D&D player, fantasy stuff (though not so much anymore).
How did you hear about us?
I saw you guys respond to another thread on a post and checked out the site. Everything I read seemed to align pretty well with what I was interested in.
Additional Blurb:
So I'm old enough that I don't want to waste my time or yours. The recruitment thread and video seemed well aligned with what I'm looking for, but let me spell out where I am at with the game and life and you guys can decide if I would be a good fit. I've got a wife, a dog, and hopefully soon 2 homes to take care of. I don't always have time to get online but when I do I try to make it count. My role doesn't matter to me. Bomber, fighter, mechanic. I could care less so long as it is moving the team forward. I'm not the best pilot, I do my best to learn. I'm looking to join an online squadron that I can grow with and honestly, just give a damn about. Rather than playing with a bunch of guys that take it too seriously, or sometimes not seriously enough. I do play on VR, so my spotting is often shit. But I love this game so hopefully I can make up for it with enthusiasm.
I don't know I'm rambling.

Well now, someone who might be as bad as me. You are welcome to join, many of us have the same R/L responsibilities as yourself, some of us are retired, so don't.
The only real requirement is that you fly with the group when you can find the time, we try to balance fun with team play, sometimes it's elusive. You can join us on Discord anytime. If you want to fly BOS we fly allied when practical, but we will fly German to keep the sides balanced. Mostly on Combat Box.
Sp00k is the man in charge of the BOS contingent, being in Australia it'll be a little while before he sees this. But don't wait for him if you decide you'd like to check out our discord channels.

Almost forgot, I think everyone flying BOS flies in VR.

Your building a canoe in your basement. Sweet, that’s all I needed to know.
We are pretty relaxed Z. We do have some “protocols” but its a fun group who give each other crap on a regular basis. We are not worried bout your piloting skills, we will teach you what you need....or not. Many of us go way back to Red Baron and beyond also.
Grab that Discord address and join us this weekend, just pop into the BoS channel we are on and you will be welcomed. Fly on our wing and we can teach you about us as we go.
We may have some tips for you with VR and spotting, we are all in the same boa.......canoe.

I see what you did there
Cool I'll do my best to get on at some point this week/end.
RE: Zlehmann Application - Sp00k - 08-04-2020
Excellent, look forward to it. Many of our number in your TZ so should have a good turn out. 13 of us in BoS to date I believe. Most can get on at the same time. Let us know if you have any issues connecting via Discord and we willl get you sorted.
Cheers.
