    You'll get this over time as you're playing multiplayer, blitz, and skirmish.
    Many units are good against vehicles, but the specific units that trigger this achievement are most likely only these two:

    UNSC:
    any Cyclops
    Banished:
    any Hunters

    In addition, the Colony leader himself might count for this, can someone verify?

    Other units that are good against vehicles but probably don't count for this achievement:
    any Hornet
    any Spartan
    any Banshee
    Honor Guard
    Warlord
    Atriox's Chosen

    Shadow 00 FoxThere's been a lot of glitchy stuff with these. Can you try doing a Blitz match as Banished? I usually get a lot of counter kills playing Blitz.

    BLOOD BERSEKERIf you want to these counter-kill achievements fast, it seems like Blitz firefight also counts! Most of my percentages grew enormously after a quite good firefight run.

    If you have the colony this and the two similar ones can be done in one game (although it may take a while).

    Leader: Colony
    Map: Fort Jordan
    Difficulty: I used Normal but this may work on other difficulties as long as the AI doesn't get "smart" about it
    Enemy: I used random and got the colony which worked out for me but other leaders may work.

    Tactic: first of all grab all the bases except the furthest 2 from your starting map. Next earn leader points to unlock combat repair. Now all you need to do is set up each base with enough turrets to stay alive, post up some units om either slope of their base, and put either elite rangers (for the anti-infabtry achievement) or hunters (for anti-vehicle) in the garrisons of the teleport pad in front of your base (where the enemy will come out of. Also post up some Reavers there for the anti-air achievement.

    Now you can leave your game running and what SHOULD happen is that the enemy will just continuously funnel their infantry, vehicles, and air through their teleporter and into your meat grinder. And with the combat repair, on normal, you shouldn't lose any troops even if you walk away from your game for a couple hours. Also works for getting the hunter captain taunts as you can put him near the slope of their base and keep taunting enemy troops as they go by.
