How to unlock the Fly-by-wire achievement in Call of Duty: Ghosts - Definitive Guide

You can get this achievement during the 16th mission called "Severed Ties". As with every other misc. achievement in this game you can play the mission on the easiest difficulty setting and still get it!

In this mission you will be controlling a tank. By pressing the Y button you can switch to your guided rockets. You will need to use those to take out 3 helicopters without missing a shot.

When you get to the first area you will be only up against other tanks at the beginning. Soon enough three helicopters will arive. Switch to your rockets and try to take them out. Don't worry if you don't hit them. As long as you press the Right Trigger with the rocket right next to them you will destroy them. But one of the choppers might get shot down by your AI partners but don't worry there will be more.

You're next objective will be to get to the next area. In this area your objective is to take down some Anti-Air vehicles. But there will also be several helis in this are. Just look for them and use your remote missiles to take them out following the advice I gave.

*Note: Video was taken on the 360. I can replace it with a video taken on the One but I don't want to put two copies of each achievement on my YT channel. If somebody would rather see an Xbox One video let me know and I'll happily provide one for you. Thanks for reading*

Just want to add that you CAN get this across checkpoints if you die. I got the first two in the first area, but got killed in the airstrip area, which was at least one checkpoint after that. The achievement popped after the first chopper I shot down at the airstrip.

At the beginning of the mission Severed Ties, you will be controlling a tank and driving into a field filled with satellites. At one point you will be instructed to use your guided missiles in order to take out helicopters that are flying in. There are only the 3 helicopters and they will all fly in through a canyon, so the easiest way to get this is to drive straight to the canyon (as I do in the video) and shoot down the three choppers as quickly as possible with the guided missiles. If you wait too long the other tanks will destroy them first so be sure to be quick about it

Simply load up the campaign mission 'Severed Ties' and proceed until Command informs you that you have enemy helos inbound. Once you have spotted the helos you must change your weapon to the guided round and launch them at the helicopters one by one (you may detonate the round next to the chopper, it does not have to be a direct hit. As long as the chopper blows up you are fine) and each round must result in one chopper destroyed. You can revert to the last checkpoint if you fail as it is just before you engage with the choppers.

I created this video to help:


Hope this helps.

Mission 16: Severed Ties:
Very shortly after the mission starts, you will see a prompt on the screen that says "press ? (Y on Xbox) to switch to guided rounds". Once you see this, attack helicopters will come in. Do as you are told and switch to guided rounds to shoot three of them down. If you take too long shooting 3 helicopters your partner tanks will do so and you need to restart the checkpoint.

Chapter Select: "Severed Ties".

You will eventually reach an area with lots of satellites and then the guy on the radio will tell you that there is a lot of enemy helicopters incoming. Push to switch to the remote missile. Fire the missile at 3 helicopters quickly before your allies take them out. There is 5 helicopters all together and you only need to destroy 3 of them with the remote missile for the trophy. The remote missile is basically the same as the missile you use in the "Into the Deep" mission. You steer it and then direct it with the . Once you destroy three the trophy will unlock.

The description is misleading, but you will to take out 3 total helicopters during Mission 16: Severed Ties while using the tank. At the start of the mission, you will destroy a few tanks and then see helicopters in the air. Change your weapon by pressing , and then fire the missile using . Guide the missile into the helicopter to destroy it. You can also detonate the missile near the helicopter by pressing  again. There should be a few helicopters in the first area and then another 3 in next area. Just take your time to keep taking them out whenever they appear to unlock this achievement.

The description somewhat does not correspond to the requirements of the achievement - you generally need to shoot down three helicopters, which can be done with the help of a tank. Switch weapons with the button, then launch a projectile and guide it towards the helicopter. Repeat the same with other helicopters. You can detonate a rocket next to a helicopter by clicking on it - this way you don’t have to target the flying equipment more accurately.
