Not a solution just a note, you can get this on any map with the Bomber. I got mine on Operation Whiteout which is a Final Stand map.

The Bomber is one of the new vehicles in the new China Rising DLC, it's good for one run in which you can fire 2-3 rounds of 4 bombs.
The Bomber station is located on all of the four new maps next to objective C in Conquest, your team needs to secure C before you're able to get in the Bomber. Getting in seems to be a difficult task since everyone is waiting for it to spawn. What I did was stand on the right side of the door and hold X for a second, pause, hold X, pause and so one until you get in.

Getting the actual kill gave me some trouble and since (apparently) I'm a terrible Bomber it took me 6-7 tries before getting a kill. I finally got it on a tank that was capturing one of the objectives, wait till it stands still and get all four bombs right on target. This doesn't have to be a tank any vehicle or (group of) infantry can work as long as they are standing still.

As a last resort you could try getting in opposite teams with your friend and kill him, but hey wheres the fun in that?

To use the bomber, you need to enter the bomber station which is located at the D flag for each map, they are white stationary trailers. Only one player can use the station at a time, and once you enter the station you only have around 20 seconds before the bomber completes its run and you’re forced to exit the station until it reloads and the bomber returns which is 90 seconds

This is easiest done in Hardcore servers because getting kills with the bomber are almost always guaranteed as long as they’re targeted and hit remotely near enemies. When using the bomber, you can spot targets as you normally would with , and designate the targets for the bombs with . You can only designate 4 bombs per run, after which the bombs will automatically be released.

Note: For some players, the achievement is reported to not unlock if killing enemies inside a vehicle. This may be a cross platform issue.

On the China Rising Maps there is a trailer that will show a plane on it from time to time, normally near location “C” in conquest matches. When it shows this plane, approach the trailer from the side with the stairs and hit when prompted to enter the trailer.

Now in the bomber find some targets to kill. To release the JADM, find your target(s) and use to release the weapon. It does take a few moments to get there, so lead your target if it is moving.

I found this very difficult to get kills as I got many hits, but no kills (Normal Mode), so I found another way to accomplish the requirement. The trick to this is to set some mines around before you head for the plane. As long as you are in the bombing run when they kill someone you will be given credit for achieving this.

Another strategy here is to bomb the trailer you enter for the bomber. Many times enemies will be waiting for you to come out and make themselves an easy target. Just be careful, if you are in hardcore you can kill teammates or yourself if you leave the trailer before the bombs hit.

For anyone who cares, here is what a JADM looks like:

Bombers are found in the Conquest mode on all maps of the China Rising expansion. They fly along a strictly defined trajectory across the entire map at certain intervals. To gain access to the bomber, you need to get to point “D” (it doesn’t matter whether this point belongs to you or your enemy) and find a small trailer. When the beaver is active, an airplane icon will appear on the trailer - go to the trailer and hold down to fly a bomber.

While controlling the bomber you need to make one kill or more, the controls are as follows:

  • – mark targets for launching missiles
  • – set points for launching rockets
  • – magnifying optics
  • / ↓ – IR traps
You have 4 or 5 missiles at your disposal, which you can immediately launch - after which there will be a long reload and as a result, in one flight you will be able to fire 2 such salvoes (three, if you're lucky).

It seemed to me that the easiest way to do bomber kills (and, accordingly, stripes for them) is in “Capture” on the “Operation Whiteout” map from the Final Stand DLC .

Firstly, there are much fewer people willing to shoot from a bomber. I don't know what this is connected with. Perhaps not everyone knows about him there.

Secondly, the bomber is controlled from the submarine's control room, i.e. you will be above ground level, which means neither infantry nor equipment will see you. Only snipers perched on some of the neighboring glaciers can see. Well, those who climb up to the wheelhouse will also see, but you can easily shoot them. Therefore, it turns out that it is quite safe to wait for the bomber to respawn here, unlike other maps.

Thirdly, both equipment and infantry are very clearly visible in the snow. Before the snow storm arrives, of course. During a storm, I recommend bombing point F, where the bomber call is located.
