How to unlock the Tin Can Captain achievement

    The above methods I am sure work well but I played this this weekend with a mate and I found the easiest way to get this was to start a duel with two players. Set the time limit to 30 minutes (max time) and set the units for destroyers (DD)

    When the game starts and round starts you want to turn your ship all the way to the left and stop, your opponent should also to this. if done correctly you should be about 0.9-1.0 miles away from your opponent.

    Who ever is going for the achievement switches to torpedoes and sends a barrage towards to opponent. 3-4 should sink them but for fun I send about 8-10 :P

    you should be able to get the achievement within one match and I found this was easier as you spawn really close to the opponent.

    Anno MundiGreat guide, thanks! Can't give you thumbs up as I'm on the PC version.

    I found it easiest to move to the left using 1/4 speed as otherwise your ships will start using artillery against each other, and it's hard to confirm the kill was made with a torpedo.

    This is a very easy achievement to get. All you have to do is play a skirmish game and focus on getting destroyers and kill the enemy with torpedos!!!!!

    This is an achievement that is got over time, not in just one mission..

    Good luck and shoot straight and make your fish hot and count!!!

    Can be don in Skirmish mode. I did it in an Island Capture game, choosing Japanese side, spamming the US with Shimakaze destroyers. Got it in about 45 minutes.

    I do not take credit for this, as I found the solution here;

    Just wanted to share it on this site as there was no guide written already.
