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