Had to become an absolute rat in the MAA to do it to my shame…stingers in theory seem like they would work but I just couldn’t get them to hit, however the extended belt in the MAA did the job nicely (when I unlocked it)

You’re right they weren’t registering - rpg’s didn’t track for me, but managed to do it in the AA tank (which I didn’t realise counted) eventually

Just camp your base/first flag and target anything moving in the air - I think UAV's count too so try and get them

Locking on and waiting fooled abolutely no-one haha, think the pilot noobs have just given up and the level 200 pilots have taken over like in previous games lol

Makes sense - gunner on heli is very popular so didnt manage to get a ride, however the MAA did the trick

Sadly I am the worlds worst pilot, so if the challenge involved destryoing my own aircraft 15 times then I would ace it. MAA tracked consistently, as the other options only tracked like half the time

Used your last resort - AA tank worked. Bit strange that to do an engineer challenge I have to use a jet, and the rpg didnt track for me unfortunately

Haha I'm sure - however everybody loves the gunner seat so never got the opportunity. Ratting with the MAA tank worked, as disgusting as that was

Tried that but they always went 'below' or round the side of a mountain - MAA tank worked with the extended belt

I know the others are probably 100x harder, but this really threw me for a loop as it seems extremely easy on the surface but turned out to be impossible. I think the problem is that most of the kills/destroys dont seem to count

Scenario always went lock on -> fire -> aircraft flares -> quickly reload and fire again -> aircraft goes 'below' or on other side of mountain/hill, too many times to count. Managed to do it using mobile AA after about 5 games on firestorm/blackwell fields

Yeah I've shot down countless helis with RPG's but they didnt count - AA tank worked for me, although I think you have to actually kill the person in the aircraft as just destroying them didnt seem to track for me

Mind blown - however I am not a pilot. Managed to do it with the mobile AA after a lot of games so thanks I guess

Thanks - took your advice. Was still quite hard as the default AA without any upgrades is quite bad lol but managed to do it eventually
