How to unlock the Flyswatter achievement in Battlefield 1 - Definitive Guide

Play the game type Air Assault on the map London Calling and spawn in the Airship. Shoot 5 planes out of the air, simple as that. As of the writing of this guide, planes that destroy themselves by ramming into the Airship count as kills with the Airship. I was able to rack up 22 kills, half of which were planes ramming themselves into the airship and dying. The game mode on this map is two rounds so each side has a chance to spawn in the airship.

Definately right about the planes ramming the ship. I joined for about a minute, and I only had to shoot one plane down.

Not trying to hijack your comment section. I believe that airplanes ramming the airship do count as long as you inflict damage on the plane first. Or at least that was what I was experiencing. As soon as I said it wasn't working for me I got a ton of kills that way. Use the flack gun. +1 from me by the way. smile

I was on a machine gun getting tons of assists on planes but only 1 kill. Towards the end of the game I started firing at the enemy airships just to help do damage as it was close, as I was doing damage to the airship 10+ enemy kills showed up in under 1 min. I have no idea how I was killing them.

It seems that enemies ramming into the airship dont count if you're in the machine gun, but they do if you're in the antiair.

You have to inflict majority damage or it counts as an assist.

Anyone struggling to get this to progress?

So I had definitely hit the requirement for this. Ended up popping when I went to compare achievements with a buddy to see what he needed help with. roll

Just throwing my experience in, i got 2 kills towards this by planes hitting the airship and dying. I had not inflicted any damage to them but was in the AA gun. The previous time i was on the machine gun and never got anything from any planes hitting the airship.

So it seems you need to be in the AA gun for the kills to count when you're rammed.

I killed many planes but ended up unlocking it from comparing my BF1 achievements with a friend in the dashboard. Thanks TH3FLYINGK0R3AN for sharing your tip/story.

Isso Isso pode ser feito em outros modos de jogo como conquista, basta matar 5 aviões quando estiver no veículo colossal L30, aquele que vem como reforço quando o seu time está perdendo.

Translator: This can be done in other game modes as Conquest, just destroy 5 planes when you're in the Colossal Airship L30, the one that comes as backup when your team is losing.

Would anyone like to boost on this? London Calling maps are always dead. It’d be nice to get a few people in a match so we can all do it at once

Currently an active game of air assault right now. Join and never leave the airship behemoth and you'll get it in 1 or 2 matches.

If you miss this, check every Saturday and Sunday from late morning to early evening Pacific USA time and you'll find at least one partial lobby.

Planes ramming the airship does not appear to count for me. Who knows. Glad it worked for someone!

I would like to add that using the anti-aircraft gun is far superior to the machine gun. Positions 2 and 3 on the airship if you look at the little icon on the bottom middle of the screen.

You can do this on a rented server with one other person. Shoot them and have them fly into the Airship. If you don't want to rent a server than search for operation maps that give the Airship to the attackers when they fail to capture points. You will usually be in competition with 4 other gunners in shooting down the airplanes so make every bullet count. Generally, a lot of good players hop into the airplanes so it is pretty tough to shoot them down.

Just find a quite easy way in this week occasionally. When blimp respawn on the map try to be the driver.
Please keep at least 300m away from sectors, and don't do KAMIKAZE charge, because AA gun's range is 300m. Then wait for enemy's airplane impact to the blimp initiative like the video below. Crash also calculated into this 5 amounts.
I finish this achievement by only one turn.

This is probably the easiest trophy in this DLC, and the quickest way to unlock it is as follows: head to the Multiplayer tab and use the Server Browser to filter results to the Air Assault game mode, and filter it further to the maps ‘London Calling: Raiders’ and ‘London Calling: Scourge’. Now join a game, wait until a spot in a Behemoth is available and spawn into it. All you need to do from here is shoot relentlessly at any enemy plane you see.

This game mode seems very generous with how it awards kills and plane destructions - enemies flying their planes into the Airship and dying, and assists all seem to count and award points. Once you have destroyed 5 planes, which should come within a few minutes, the trophy will unlock.

The Behemoth Airship L30 is the new zeppelin added by the “Apocalypse” DLC. You can spawn into this blimp on the new London Calling Air Assault map but is not available on the Razor’s Edge map. From the spawn menu, look for the large blimp icon that should be available from the very beginning on the match. The AA guns attached to the Airship are very strong and can take out an enemy fighter with a small number of shots.

The other factor that makes this achievement somewhat easy is that at the time of this writing any plane that crashes into the Behemoth and is destroyed will count as a kill for anyone in the Behemoth. I believe that three out of my five kills were from kamikaze pilots and I ended up with nearly twenty kills in the L30 Airship in one match.

In the new Air Assault mode on the London map, board the L30 airship and shoot at the planes.

Unfortunately, at the moment no one plays the “Air Assault” mode and therefore the trophy will have to be won in the “Capture” and “Operations” modes. The L-class airship appears in the air on the losing side on the maps Saint-Quentin, Monte Grappa and Ballroom Blitz.

The easiest way is to find a person who can go behind the opposite side and fly at minimum speed in a straight line towards you. It is advisable for the partner to take the smallest fighter. For convenience, I advise you to tell your partner what weapon you are on the derailleur. I advise you to use machine guns on top.

It is possible to get the trophy in one go.

I'll add
The airship appears on the losing side when they have exceeded 500 points and if the score in points is more than 100. If it is less, the airship will not appear at all
