pretty sure im doing exact same thing as vid 20 with no achievement

pretty sure im doing exact same thing as vid 20 with no achievement

20 times* even though now its more like 40 and im about to go sell the game

Thats weird. It didn't happen for me. I died twice while playing this level and got the plane in one hit and I got the achievement.

just before the jet when the 2 armoured vehicles turn up one of them killed me instantly, i never reloaded the checkpoint and when it put me back at the checkpoint with the 2 armoured vehicles i destroyed them and then moved on and did the same route as the video and took out the jet 1st go and the achievement unlocked for me, so u can get it if u die, i did notice it saved before the armoured vehicles and when i died it also saved then too, so maybe u just can't die once u spot the jet, not sure but it's just a thought.

Its glitched I tell ye...

Nothing works. :(

OK I got it and it was as the plane strafed your team, it turns around for another shot let it go past and then get it on its 3rd run.

this one is soooo glithed. i didn't die when jet showed up and i soht it down on first attemp and did't get it. my objective to grab the stinger and take it out showed up after i already shot it down. it's weird.

another thing. after i shot it down there was a sequnece where compo is died on the ground. does this happen everytime or was i to slow and he died and that is why ach. didn't poped out?

It always happens about that point the jet flies past you let it pass by you again after that then when its facing first position hit it. And yes this achievement should be acknowledged as buggy.

This achievement is glitched. I've tried this over 15 times but still no achievement. They need to fix this, like all the glitched achievements in BFBC2.

Dexter as far as I can tell the normal belief is that this achievements must be done without dying. I know that for myself that is exactly what happened. I tried for 2 hours and failed endlessly. Then I made it to the spot and took out the jet in one go and it popped for me. Hope that helps.

didn't die throughout the whole level, no achievement -.-

didn't die throughout the whole level, no achievement, me too :S

Followed the video exactly and it finally popped.

Downed jet with first try and cheevo didn't pop. Made a point to get it right but still no cheevo.

i think it's just that you can't die during the plane sequence - if you die before it doesn't matter, but that's just my own guess work.

If you die before it does matter. I just decided toi go after this and died right after the ambush on the road were the guys talking about a milk shake. I jumped out and stood in the middle of the road and died. I continued and went all the way through and it didn't pop. I "restarted" from AFTER I shot down the plane, went through the whole mission again from the ambush without dying and it popped.

i didnt die the whole level, do everything like the video and when i get to the SU25 and there is never a stringer there. WTF!!!

yer i am quite annoyed with this.... i am not dieing. and shooting it down with one shot. achievement is definitely glitchy

I made sure that I did not die or reload checkpoint at any time through the mission and then followed the video (on easy difficulty) it popped straight away.

Cheers, thumbs up

I just got this after about 20 odd attempts.

Put simply, every time I hit the jet was during its gun run, it went away smoking, turned around and then came crashing to the deck. Whilst it was still killed in 1 shot, it didn't count.

When it finally unlocked, I locked onto the jet immediately after it had finished its gun-run, and fired just as it was starting to circle around. The stinger hit the jet before it started its next gun run, and BOOM, the jet came down just as in the video and achievement popped.
I did manage to do this 1 other time, but it was after I had reloaded the last checkpoint, which didn't count.

From my experiences with it, I think that the critical thing is to fire at the jet as it starts to turn, but crucially that the missile hits it before it starts its gun run.
