How to unlock the There And Back Again achievement in ACE COMBAT 7: SKIES UNKNOWN - Definitive Guide

in this video I will show you what take offs, mid-air refuelings, and landings in campaign look like. I won't be showing them all just what they look like so you make sure you don't skip them or it will void the achievement. All of these will be at the beginning and end of all missions. The take offs and mid-air refuelings will be at the beginning and the landings will be at the end of missions.

Can you go back and replay a mission to get one missed?

I wouldn't think you'd need both because I didn't even know some missions had two options.

I just started and finished mission 12 with an F18 , no take off , refueling or landing. I did not press any button from the moment I started the mission. Do you need specific planes to get these and are they supposed to be in every mission?

Some missions vary depending on aircraft type. For example, Mission 3 starts with a Carrier take-off for naval aircraft, but a mid-air refueling for ground based aircraft. Do I have to do both to get the achievement? Or does completing the appropriate action for my chosen aircraft count as completing the achievement for that mission?

First of all, I apologize for the guide having some unverified information. That being said, I write here information that I could not find myself while being puzzled by this trophy.

The guides over PSN Profiles, True Achievements and Steam just state that you should get it by the end of your playthrough if you don't skip the takeoff/landing bits of all missions. Well, I didn't skip any, to my knowledge, and still didn't get it. The guides out there didn't state what missions have those landing/takeoffs, so I replayed the whole game myself taking the notes you'll find below.

In my first playthough (easy). I didn't take notes of which aircraft I used, and I unlocked the trophy on my second playthrough (normal), by the end of mission 5. Because of that, I couldn't verify if the trophy would unlock at the takeoff/beginning of a mission, or if you have to complete it, also if you have to replay mission that have landing and takeoff variants (ground/carrier), so that's the unverified bit I mentioned earlier.

I must have skipped something, so skipping does not void the trophy, as you will find some people stating. Maybe that was the case in a previous patch...

Here are the missions that have takeoffs, mid-air refuelings and landings. They occur either at the very beginning or the very end of a given mission. I list the aircraft I used, but they are by no means necessary, use whatever you wish.

As an aside info, so you can gauge how early you can have those aircrafts, I unlocked F22A by mission 17 or so of my first playthrough, and X-02S by mission 6 of my second playthrough, just by playing campaign sequentially without replays, and about 15 or so multiplayer matches.


Mission ##---Aircraft--Start of mission----End of mission
Mission 1 - F22A - Ground takeoff - Nothing
Mission 2 - F22A - Nothing - nothing
Mission 3 - F22A - Mid-air refuel - Ground landing
Mission 4 - F22A - Nothing - nothing
Mission 5 - F22A - Ground takeoff - Ground landing *Trophy for me
Mission 6 - F22A - Nothing - nothing
Mission 7 - X-02S - Nothing - Ground landing
Mission 8 - X-02S - Nothing - Nothing
Mission 9 - X-02S - Nothing - Nothing
Mission 10 - X-02S - Ground takeoff - Nothing
Mission 11 - X-02S - Mid-air refuel - Nothing
Mission 12 - X-02S - Nothing - Nothing
Mission 13 - X-02S - Nothing - Nothing
Mission 14 - X-02S - Mid-air refuel - Ground landing
Mission 15 - X-02S - Nothing - Nothing
Mission 16 - X-02S - Nothing - Nothing
Mission 17 - X-02S - Nothing - Nothing
Mission 18 - X-02S - Nothing - Nothing
Mission 19 - X-02S - Nothing - Carrier landing
Mission 20 - X-02S - Carrier takeoff - Nothing

There will be a few moments before certain missions where you will complete take-offs or refueling missions, as well as landing after certain missions. You must simply complete them once each and not press the  button to skip them to complete the trophy requirements. For any missions with return lines, completing the landing and takeoff procedures for rearming mid-mission is not required.

The collection includes all takeoffs/landings/refuelings that occur at the beginning and end of the mission. In some missions, it is possible to fly to the base to replenish the supply of missiles; to do this, you need to land and take off from the airfield - this does not count, don’t worry if you missed it.

The trophy is cumulative, dropped when I missed refueling at the beginning of mission 11 on a different difficulty level.
