    You have to get into the Bulldog during the 'Eliminate Pursuers' objective. When in the vehicle, shoot down all (20) spacecraft.

    This is done on the first mission.

    I think this achievement is glitched or can't seem to get all 20 aircrafts because of camera problems while aiming.

    Yummy BaklavaHmm, I don't recall any glitches. I got it on my second attempt and that was because my first had poor aiming. :p

    Give it another go. It really isn't that difficult. Within three attempts, you should get it.

    You want to explain HOW you replay the level??

    JodmeisterHaving just got this I'm pretty sure there are more than 20 to shoot down, as I think I missed one of the last pair before entering the tunnel, and another one inside the tunnel. Suffice to say as long as you get the count for the achievement to 20 it will pop even if you miss one.

    Main thing is to watch the gun overheating; pumping 'x' seems to cool it quicker.

    redjarmanSame as Jodmeister, I missed one of the big ones just before the last tunnel but I still wound up getting 20 in the end

    Lord BaneJ@ AntagonistGoose - Simply replay the missions again after completing the DLC. To do this, save your game, and then reload it. Access the Missions menu on your Cell Phone for the option to replay the DLC again.

    steveRPGmrFirst time through, I missed by ONE. Replayed the DLC again after completion. Had to get ALL 20 in one sitting, not just an additional one on the second play-through.

    TFoxyBoyI missed the one before the tunnel. What a shit load of fuck!

    varkylfusGlitched for me; had 13 at the time of the "make that jump" director part. 16 entering the tunnel and the 17th shortly after that. Noticed I had two grenades. It's almost like being on foot. Replayed the checkpoint over about 10 times and the achievement never popped.

    Started the mission over. Didn't have three mysterious helicopter kills count toward the achievement this time. 10 at the director part. Popped the achievement at the end of the tunnel like it's supposed to.

    Thumbs up!
