    Mission: Throttle

    This achievement opportunity takes place right at the very beginning of the level, so you can always try again from the main menu if you have problems.

    The easiest way to get this is just to hold down your machine guns, and DO NOT use your missiles. You will have to aim at enemy ships which will show up as red diamonds on your HUD. Use your air brake in order to go more slowly as well! Make your way through the canyon, and focus on killing as many enemies as possible using those machine guns. If you get to 10, the achievement will unlock but if you get to the end you can reload your last checkpoint or restart the entire mission.

    Tabor49Got a new Xbox a week ago and it will barley run this campaign same as ww2. Freezes on the loading screens and stops loading. This mission stays on a black screen forever after loading. Already deleted the game and reset console 4 times now doesn’t help.

    Mission 13 (Throttle)

    The start of this mission will let you fly a jet. During this section you will have to take out 10 enemy jets with your machine guns. The game will auto-aim pretty generously for you which makes this a lot easier.

    You can ignore ground targets since they don't count for this achievement. Hold down LT and keep the red targets centered and you shouldn't have much trouble getting this one.

    If you crash you will have to restart the mission.

    Hey guys, for this achievement you need to gun down 10 enemies with the Machine Gun for your aircraft at the beginning of the level 'Throttle'.

    You can hold cn_LT for the entire lvl to fire an infinite stream of bullets and focus mainly on maneuvering.

    Try not to get too close to the ground if you can, and be extra careful at the pillars that fall near the later parts of the section.

    When it gets to the part where you have to destroy the dam on the left, feel free to use your rockets (cn_RT).

    If you crash restart the level, and if you simply need a bump of kills do the same or reload a checkpoint!

    Here's my video guide if you need help.

    Hope this helps!
