This can still be achieved if you miss. Just don't let the next checkpoint hit.

Strategy Tip - Using saves!

Just before you are about to jump on the Jeep - Save and Quit

Resume

Jump on Jeep and take out three tanks with TOW, if you fail to take them out with three TOW, quit and try again.

After you take out three there is a checkpoint - Save and Quit

Resume

Take out other three tanks, if you fail to take them out with three TOW, quit and try again.

After you take out last three - blip! achievement is yours!

you don't need to save and quit prior to getting in the jeep. you hit a checkpoint right when you get in. i missed my first shot. i saved and quit, and then resumed and i was right in the jeep ready to go and popped the achievement that go-around. i doubt you have to save and quit after the first three tanks either, but i don't know from personal experience.

Excellent advice. I Saved and Quit before I got on jeep. I got the first 2 tanks, but missed 3rd. I quit, and when it reloaded, it showed I had hit 1 tank, so I started from there, looking for 2nd tank. Followed solution, and still got the achievement when I exited jeep after all 6.

I had to die or kill my self when I missed. If you need to die shot the rocket down at the mount your on a couple of times. It worked for me. I got it after hopping out.

Do this on the mission S.O.G! You will get a chance to get the achievement at the end of the mission. You are told to ride the back of a jeep with Woods and the CIA guy (Hicks?). When driving around you have to kill some enemies until tanks come, which you will have the ability to use the missile launcher. Make sure to have a good aim at the tanks and shoot your missiles at them, which you'll be able to guide them. Only use one missile for each tank. There's three waves that consist of 1, 2, then 3 tanks. If you make a mistake, you can kill yourself with the missile or save and quit. If done right, the achievement pops after getting off the vehicle!!!

The mission you want for this achievement is called 'S.O.G.'.

Just play through until you are at the part where you are in the back of the truck and the guy is driving you around. Eventually tanks will start to show up and you will automatically get on the missile launcher. All you need to do is take out all 6 tanks without missing a shot.

Take your time before you fire the missile! Make sure you have a good shot before you take it! If you line up the shot well before you shoot, then you will not need to guide the missile as much, increasing your chance of contact with the target.

On personal experience, I missed a couple times, and just started shooting rockets at the heads of the guys in the vehicle with me (usually three caused me to die).

It will reload the last checkpoint, without noting the additional rockets you've fired and missed with. Just rinse and repeat until you've knocked out all tanks with a single missile and the achievement is yours.

This achievement may sound a little daunting at first but if you know the little trick I discovered then it should be easy. Start up Mission 5 - C.O.G.and work your way through to the end of the level. When you jump on board of the Jeep and have to take out 6 tanks you will need to do this without missing a single target. Now don't worry if you miss one because I found out that when you do miss one you can aim down to your feet and kill yourself. This will start you off at the last checkpoint and you can try again. Once all 6 have been destroyed in 6 shots the achievement will pop up when you leave the Jeep. This achievement can be done on ANY difficulty level so you might as well stick it on recruit.

I am rendering out a video showing you that this technique does work and will attack it as soon as I can.

To get this trophy you must play the mission S.O.G. (fourth mission) until the last objective in the mission where you mount a jeep with a wire guided missile launcher. You will encounter 6 Soviet tanks all of which you have to destroy with one missile each. If you miss one just rapidly tap the trigger until you get a friendly fire mission fail and try again.

In Mission 5: SOG ,Towards the end of the level, as you emerge from the tunnel that is under bombardment, you’ll climb aboard a jeep and asked to destroy 6 tanks, so that’s 1 missile per tank. The trophy should unlock after you disembark from the jeep shortly before the level ends.

Tip from FARAZ_1994: Aim to fire the T.O.W. missiles a bit higher than the tanks as they tend to dip a little in flight.

If you miss any of the tanks while attempting this, simply Save and Quit the game, and then choose to Resume to go back to the start.

Here's a video from PowerPyx:

During the mission "S.O.G", you will be in a jeep with a TOW missile launcher on it. Your crew will drive around and tell you where the enemy tanks are coming from. Take your time and make sure there aren't any objects between you and the tank that would get in the way. If there are, avoid them as best as possible. There are 6 tanks you need to destroy, giving you one missile per tank. Once you fire with , use  to navigate the missile towards the tank and avoid any structures. If you miss, you can simply shoot your own vehicle causing the mission to fail and restart from the latest checkpoint. The achievement unlocks at the moment you get out of the vehicle, so don't panic if it doesn't unlock when you destroy the final vehicle.

Mission 5 - "Marines". There will be a place when you sit in the jeep behind the grenade launcher. It's simple: one missile, one tank. Wait for the tank to stop and fire the rocket. If it doesn’t work, kill yourself and shoot yourself, this will reboot to the last checkpoint. Watch the video:
