    Play Conquest on any End Game map. Now, your first objective will be to capture the flag with the gunship symbol next to it (usually C) or make sure that your team has it. When you have that flag, you will have to wait for the C-130 gunship to spawn (or respawn) and then you will have the ability to choose "Dropship IFV", which will then drop you from the ship while inside the IFV. Now, when you land, you'll need to get at least 1 kill using the IFV. It is recommended that you aim for enemies that are on foot. Watch out for enemy tanks, helicopters, mines and rockets as the IFV is not very strong.

    Once you get a kill an enemy, the achievement will unlock.

    geobandit212I can confirm that it doesn't pop if you kill someone who is on a dirt bike. Actually tried it on a server with a few guys all needing the achievement and we lined up 2 guys on bikes and 2 on foot. I killed the guys on the bikes first - no achievement - kill one of the ones on foot - achievement popped. Rinse and repeated for the other guys and same deal - no achievement if the kill is someone on a bike - seems it has to be on foot

    You cannot earn this achievement in CTF and must play Conquest on one of the new maps instead.

    Much like the gunship in Armored Kill, the C-130 (IFV Tank) will only become available to the team that has captured the base marked with the air vehicle. So that will be your top priority at first. Once your team has control of the base die immediately. If your desperate, remember there is the option to suicide. Provided you were fast enough and no one else already got it, you should now see the option to select “IFV Paradrop”.

    This will spawn you in a tank as it parachutes down to earth. It has light armor so you will want to avoid heavy tanks and focus on enemy infantry. It shouldn't be too hard to get a kill if you're careful. I recommend defending the base you needed to capture to get the vehicle spawn. It will be pretty active with enemies also trying to get the achievement.

    Thanks to both Sean Reinhardl and R0Y4LEwitCHEESE for confiming you do not need to be the one who drops the C-130. If you're able to find an abandoned one or the secondary gunner seat is open you can still earn the achievement.

    Sean ReinhardlFYI you dont need to be the one that drops the tank just need to get a kill in a tank that has been droped. Even if the vehicle was droped by the other team. So just keep an eye out form tanks droping out of the sky.

    R0Y4LEwitCHEESEI can confirm that spawning on a team mate who was already driving around in the tank and then using the secondary gun will also get you the achievement.

    HelloKitty3Any open seat in the IFV works - you don't need to be the driver or primary gunner. Sitting in one of the passenger seats and swapping between the left and right sides help since you can quickly scan and fire in nearly 360 degrees which is how I got the achievement.
