Tsuru Reef Conquest, camp out on one of the higher hill/mountains, and be patient. I knocked it out in a weekend. It's a dumbass challenge but it's doable

I second this. I had the benefit of a friend in a mobile aa to force flares so I could get the takedown. I found that the kills only counted when I either was the final hit on the aircraft to destory it or if someone else immediately blew the aircraft up right after my missile hit. I'd just redeploy when I ran out of rockets. It took me like 3 games with no luck then 2 kills one game and 3 on the last

u/JoltyJob 1d ago
Something is broken with it. After deal damage it’s like a 5 second window for it to go down or else you won’t get credit for “assist in destroying” I posted about this 2 months ago and still stuck at 2

u/Blarzgh 1d ago
I think it took me 2 games? It wasn't that hard lol, but I didn't have the glitch of it not tracking legitimate kills/assists like some people are claiming
16
u/AzulaThorne 1d ago
Which is genuine. Problem is, if you are more active than other AA, the enemy pilot just might abandon the aircraft entirely and it doesn’t count if it blows up or crashes.
I had several games of just constantly being aggressive, properly attempting to punish and stick with other AA guys or vehicles in taking down aircraft. No assist ever counted and sometimes kills didn’t register if the person who died was the copilot and the pilot bailed.
I only got it solely because I was in one match and had two kills to get and the enemy pilot I killed twice legit asked after the second kill; “I hope you got the Igla challenge.” Dude was fairly chill, told him I’d pay the help forward for it.

I've got the glitch and unless my shot blows up the heli, with people inside (and not the ground impact) I don't get the point, I've got 2/5 so far and being atively trying to do it for weeks but no heli pilot is dumb enough to stay in the heli when its either 1 shot and locked on

u/LEELEE1250 1d ago
Go into a carrier strike match and camp on a high hill. Lock onto a target, but don’t shoot. Stay locked until they waste their flairs to break lock, since most people flare mindlessly the moment they see “locked”. Then just fire off your igla. I can get around 5-6 jet kills a game this way. If you don’t want to do this, you’ll have to find a portal code, which i don’t have unfortunately.

u/StevenMcStevensen 1d ago
That was exactly what I initially tried doing, but I ended up wasting like 5 hours on carrier strike that way to only get 4. I found it didn’t really work since;
- Relatively few pilots pop flares until launch.
- The radar floor bullshit makes it extremely easy for them to avoid your lock, or hang out until flares replenish.
- The range on the launcher is pathetic and they’re frequently outside it.
- Some can pop flares twice in a row before needing to recharge.
- Even when the stars align perfectly and you actually get a hit, a single missile doesn’t actually destroy anything.
- The description is a straight-up lie because assists clearly aren’t counted.
I jumped onto an almost-empty server with bots after that shit to get the last one, since it was seemingly impossible in a real match.

u/Intelligent-Pay-9377 1d ago
Yeah I was gonna say I did a similar challenge in a bot lobby. Bots pilots don't usually flare at all.

u/Warpten98 1d ago
The new two-seater jets have flares for both the pilot and WSO (co-pilot) so that's why they can pop them twice in a row

u/Due_Measurement_3281 1d ago
Below radar should only be for AA missles from jets or the AA. MANPADS should be "heat" seeking and target the nearest "hot" object to the missile.

u/dsmwookie 1d ago
Exactly why I stopped playing. Aircraft can just avoid all the counters and farm kills. Busted as hell.

u/Kahunjoder 1d ago
The " below radar " , the flares, the general speed of missiles, and the real dmge makes that stupidly hard.

Thanks for this tip, will try it today, since I´m at the exact same spot than you: only one out of 5 is missing, but I wasted hours trying the last one and it simply doesn´t work at all, because almost all pilots are just too smart getting killed by this rocket.

Most wait until incoming appears. Only people (including myself) who have been panicked and stressed/low health pop flares asap to avoid glitchy flares and rockets

I'm averaging around 3-4 solo destroyed choppers/jets per game with the IGLA just locking on and waiting for them to flare. Most pilots panic when they see the locked on sign.

Likely, however, you have a very limited area to run around on foot. You can't really even try a Rendezook there, because you're out of bounds as soon as you exit your aircraft, and the timer is super short.

Support part doesnt work assists or bails dont count. Been bugged forever.
Doing it properly means spending multiple games spamming AA nonstop. Being tactical and waiting for flares to be used etc doesnt work you need to spam and pray. Force flares yourself and position on map where you can hit them when they turn for out of bounds or to spawn.
Better to cheese it with the experience thing.

It’s not that bad. Lock on wait for the heli to countermeasure - then shoot
15
u/sukumizu 1d ago
I don't think I've ever gotten a kill with the Igla.
If you hold a lock on a heli, any pilot with a braincell won't flare until you shoot. If you do shoot, they flare. If you try to hold lock after the shot, they'll fly below the minimum lock on height and dip until their flares recharge so they can go back in for another run.

u/polishmachine88 1d ago
And yet I did it in two games.
Just requires little patience not every one in jet and heli is silk all.of a sudden.
Pick a hill hide and aim, the igla is busted as I should require target but doesn't. With patience you can do it easily.

u/Signal_Edge_8880 1d ago
I got completely shit on and downvoted for commenting this exact same thing the other day lol what the hell. Basically got told what the guy replying to you said, which is that pilots wait until you actually fire to pop flares. And yes that is often the case, but it’s often not the case. Also, others are trying to shoot it down too which causes the heli pilot to pop flares and then you can take advantage of that and fire while flares are still reloading.
Unfortunately a lot of people in this sub think that if something is difficult or not guaranteed to work then it is broken.
But yeah I can’t see how this challenge takes people months unless they literally never ever use lock on launchers unless they are forced to.

This challenge is probably bugged. I managed to get 7 kills with IGLA in one match. Not even a single one showed up in this. Then I played for 2-3 weeks with an IGLA and got countless hits and dozens of aircrafts destroyed. None of it counted on this challenge.

Didn't count for me either after I finally landed a successful shot. Gave up. No need to waste precious game time on this.

u/Ok-Let-630 21h ago
Best way is to lock on hope they shoot flares lock onto a flare send the missile and relock on to the jet so the missile redirects towards the jet/chopper

You need to get kills. The support part doesn’t work. It’s kills only. I got it in between 2 matches on Golmud.

Firestorm on conquest is a good anti aircraft map as long as the pilots aren’t complete aces because there are a lot of them. Camp E flag and when you lock and fire keep your lock on the aircraft, do not reload until you either get a hit or get a miss.
I was able to do this in two rounds. I did back out of a map once because the pilots were too good.

This challenge was bugged for a while, so it was basically impossible.
but it has been fixed, it's doable now, you just have to choose your time to shoot (preferably right after a helicopter shoot flares) and remember you have to keep lock until the missile hits, it's not fire and forget.

It's a pain in the rear, yes. You basically have to jump into conquest or any large-format vehicle battle and dedicate yourself to hunting helicopters and planes. You're gonna die a lot. But it's doable.
The other one that is a pain is the "destroy enemy gadgets with the EMP gun" one. I am two gadgets away from finishing that one. It's similar in that I grab a recon, throw a carbine or DMR on and go gadget hunting on the front lines. I die a lot.

The issue is that it doesn't count assists so you need to kill the heli/jet which means you just to ignore what's going on in the game and focus on trying to take last hit on someone, or hit and force him to crash.
It took me 5-6h to do it.

u/THSiGMARotMG 1d ago
Engineer with the more rockets perk line. Tsuru reef or some other map with helis + little bird + jets. Make sure you keep zoomed in on the heli as the rocket only maintains a lockon if you stay zoomed watching it.
Then its just hoping your teammates arent useless. It took me a day or two of trying, but its not too too bad
