The Power in These Waters

Kill 15 enemies with the L-Class Destroyer

How to unlock the The Power in These Waters achievement in Battlefield 1 - Definitive Guide

The L-class destroyer is not a dreadnought/behemoth, it’s more like a sophisticated variant of the torpedo boat used frequently to destroy enemy dreadnoughts on maps such as Fao Fortress.

The L-class destroyer has 4 different seats, you can get progress towards the achievement with a kill from any of the seats, only 1 L-class destroyer can be deployed at 1 time.

The best way I found to get this achievement was to load up a conquest game on the Turning Tides DLC - Cape Helles, it will massively simplify things by using the server browser and filterering it to conquest only, choose the British Empire this is imperative as only the British Empire have access to the destroyer, now just wait, if there’s no destroyer available then there will be one deployed, simply wait until it has been destroyed or until you have an option to enter one of the seats, It usually takes a minute for a fresh destroyer to spawn, I would just spam down on the left analog stick to guarantee yourself a spot.

From here just simply kill 15 enemies, I’d recommend one of the cannons for efficiency, just try avoid the AA gun as they aren’t very effective for taking out infantry, make sure to spam RB when looking for enemies as it’ll spot enemies that you can’t see with the naked eye.

Thanks hope this helped!

Great guide. Can I suggest a slight amendment, in as far as it's quicker to use the server browser feature to find the exact map with space than waiting on the lottery of just choosing conquest in the new dlc maps?

Hey, you are correct I wasn’t fully aware of the server browser as mine was filtered to Frontlines only which is kinda odd considering I never play Frontlines, I just used the quickmatch function but yes I agree this could simplify things, I will update the solution now thank you.

This achievement was so much fun to get. I got a couple of amazing kills when I manned the cannon. My last two came when I was driving the ship, and some idiot in an enemy boat just rammed right into me, got a multikill and the achievement right there.

Do the 15 kills have to happen in one session or are they cumulative?

Anyone got a custom server set up to complete this, maps come up so rarely, and the operators are usually incompetent for positioning purposes 😂

Just a continuation of the guide above, since it might be hard to find only a Cape Helles match with the decreasing number of players.

I went in the server browser and made it search only the 3 maps,
Cape Helles
Zeebrugge
Heligoland Bight

These are the only maps with the L-Class Destroyer and had to look it up on wiki so might aswell share it here to help others.

Note : Not too sure about the Gamemodes, but I did it all on Conquest.

The L-Class Destroyer is a new Sea Vehicle introduced with this DLC. It is available to both sides on Zeebrugge and Heligoland Bight, and to the British on Cape Helles. Simply play Conquest on these maps, spawn into the L-Class Destroyer and get 15 kills for this trophy. You can track your kills by heading to the Soldier tab and selecting ‘vehicles’, and from here scrolling over to the Destroyer.

The Destroyer has 2-3 gunner seats which I personally found to be the easiest to use against incoming boats, planes and ground infantry. If you spawn in as the driver, you will be the Tanker class and have access to a variety of weapons, including an artillery barrage.

A good tip is to scan the waters and horizon around the Destroyer with to quickly spot any approaching Torpedo Boats, and use these powerful weapons to quickly take them out from a distance. The guns can also make short work of any low-flying pilots that fly nearby. Just unleash whatever weapon you have access to on any enemies that you see and 15 kills will come in no time. The trophy unlocks in-game upon your 15th kill.

Although it’s not really necessary, this trophy is again boostable, should you want to. Start a match with your boosting partner on one of the aforementioned maps and have them capture a flag whilst you make your way over to it. Then have them stand on the shore whilst you take them out, then they can spawn at the flag and be quickly ready to be killed again.

Small tip - one of the Weapon Assignments for this DLC requires 3 multi-kills with the Scout class. Entering the L-Class Destroyer in one of the gunner seats as a Scout is a good way to get multi-kills since there are usually at least 2 players in a Torpedo Boat, so it’s a good chance to work towards that when trying for the L-Class Destroyer kills.

The L-Class Destroyer is the new naval vehicle that was added with the “Turning Tides” DLC. This vehicle is available to be spawned into for the attacking team in Conquest Assault or Operations on the Cape Helles, Heligoland Bight and Zeebrugge maps.

The fifteen enemy kills that are required for this achievement are cumulative and do not need to be completed in one life or even one match. The L-Class destroyer has multiple seats and kills from any seat count towards the fifteen kills. The easiest way to earn the needed kills is to pilot the Destroyer and use the powerful cannons to take out enemy boats or foot soldiers that grouped near capture points. Enemy naval vehicles commonly have multiple enemies in them and destroying these can make earning this achievement go quickly.

British ship on the map of Cape Helles. We shoot from far away, in 1-2 rounds it calmly knocks out.

Operation mode>Operation Gallipoli>Cape Helles, attacking side. After capturing the first sector on the shore and clearing it, an L-class cruiser Destroyer will appear (hehe). As soon as the team is close to capturing the sector, simply do not respawn or kill yourself and wait for the ship to appear. Then you have time to sit in it and make accurate shots For convenience, spam constantly to mark opponents and see them better from afar

"Capture" mode -> Map "Cape Helles" -> we play as the attackers (for the British).
Made it in one game. I boarded the destroyer behind the anti-aircraft gun. A universal tool.
He shot down planes, shot down infantry on the shore and saboteurs on boats/boats.

If there are no maps with ships at all. Then we wait until there is an event with the Gallipoli operation, for which they give a combat kit. People always play at such operations. Event rotation is once every 20 days.

If you didn’t have time to get behind the wheel, it’s okay. on the passenger side, of which there are 3 more, it counts.

Got a trophy for one skating rink. Choose NOT “Operations”, but “QUICK MATCH” - “CAPTURE” - “WAVES OF CHANGE”, if you don’t want to get the Achi Baba card, look for Cape Helles on the servers (in the operation there is advancement in sectors and it’s difficult to get 15 kills, but in a quick match they rush along the shore themselves). Here is a video of how I received it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRNGO-T-n3I

A few details: capture mode, map of Cape Gales, British side. At the beginning of the round, boarding a destroyer is almost impossible. Therefore, we run around shooting off heads, simultaneously checking how our boat is doing. As soon as we saw that the ship was sinking, pause, redeploy, wait until the equipment spawns at the base, press the stick down and the cross - in this way we try to take the first seat of the “driver”. There are two types of weapons - an airstrike (IMHO not effective) and a hefty cannon.
In terms of tactics: you shouldn’t go around the land on the right side - the torpedo boat operators, together with the crazy bombers, will dismantle our formidable vessel down to the screws and tongues in moments. Instead, drive up to the bay, position your ship neither perpendicular nor parallel to the shore, because in the first case, it will be difficult for your shipmates to fire effectively, and in the second, a hit from land at a right angle from the same anti-tank gun will be as painful as possible for you. Select a position diagonally relative to the coastline and begin meditative shooting of adversaries, do not forget to repair on .
This is, of course, nothing more than camping, but BF1 generally encourages this style of combat, again, moving a little away from the topic and remembering the scout’s official tasks, such as kill 5 enemies lying on the belly behind the shield... On this destroyer, in principle, you can rush - I tried, but only two boats fire one torpedo each, the pilot from above sends his package and you go to rep - you can repeat this scheme, killing a couple of people at a time, or camp out once and forget.
Here's a short video for clarity:
