How to unlock the Destroyer achievement in Battlefield 3 - Definitive Guide
If you have premium and have tested out the new maps you will have noticed that getting ten kills with an Artillery vehicle is going to be comparable to giving birth to a couple of moderately sized hedgehogs. This thing is basically a mortar with a range of 600 units. (Is battlefield measured in meters or yards, one might ask?) Only it's aimed like a grenade launcher and has a spread of a minor city with six missiles in a burst. You couldn't hit the ocean from a boat with this fucking thing, and it takes two shots to eliminate a tank. I did spend entire games shooting in the general direction of a flag without even getting a hitmarker...
Now since it's so hard to kill things with it and because of the fact that people always position it far away from action, it rarely gets taken out. Good thing right? No, this merely means that you have one or two chances to get it in an entire match before someone on your team hogs it for the rest of the game, forcing you to leave and find a new one or wait for the match to end and rush for it in the beginning of the next.
However, after hours and hours of frustration I started playing more casually and took a ride in the gunship. That thing is a raping machine from the seat with the heavy cannon and after fifteen kills with it you unlock an anti air missile for your puny little mortar. Suddenly you have a long range plane eater that nobody will even care about shooting at. Search for a conquest game with Bandar Desert as the next map in queue, wait for the current game to end and take the Artillery as soon as the match starts. Position yourself just after the little hill in front of your spawn area and go crazy on anything that can fly, happy hunting!
But +vote for awesome storytelling

You Need:
10 Kills w/ either Tank Destroyer Total (Any AK Mode)
10 Kills w/ either Mobile Artillery Total (AK Conquest Mode Only)
The tank destroyer is easy to get kills with. People have more trouble with the artillery. To make it easier, the artillery has a trick to master which is this:
Fire > Push Start > See where your shots are hitting on the map > Readjust your aim
Thanks to the map showing where your hits land it makes it a little easier to hit certain targets. The best part is that the range is long enough you don't even have to leave the safety of your spawn area to use it.
Additional
If you unlock the air-burst round you can quickly switch to it (Push Y) to fire off two more rounds. It slaughters infantry but doesn't do much to anything but lightly armored vehicles.
Map: Alborz Mountains,
Game Mode: Conquest
Capture flag "C" then wait a minute commit suicide and choose to go into the Gunship get a team mate to go to "C" and keep firing until they die.
Once done the trophy will unlock.
Please note you need a minimum of four gamers to start a match
These new vehicles are available in Rush, Conquest & Tank Superiority. You will need to get 10 kills with each new type of vehicle, and it is ok to mix US and RU variants. I recommend the Conquest gamemode, and the locations of where these vehicles can be found are listed below.
Tank Destroyers:
SPRUT-SD (RU Tank Destroyer)
M1128 (US Tank Destroyer)
Locations: (Tank Superiority)
US/RU Deployment(s)
Mobile Artilleries:
BM 23 (RU Artillery)
M142 (US Artillery)
Locations: (Conquest)
Death Valley: Flags A & E
Alborz Mountains: Flags B & E
Bandhar Desert: US/RU Deployment
Armoured Shield: Flags A & E
These can be a huge pain to get kills with using the regular artillery. One tip is to get 10 kills from inside the Gunship, as this will unlock Anti-Air abilities on all Mobile Artilleries. Now just sit back from the action and tear up anything in the sky, easily getting 10 kills (compared to the normal method).
