This achievement takes place when you are diving towards the first aircraft carrier. Thankfully you are given a checkpoint just before this. I wouldn't recommend doing this on Veteran as you die in a few hits.
Best piece of advice I can give is use the
to control the direction of your plane. I found that circling around in a clockwise direction helped. Also I wouldn't recommend using 
to zoom in as your field of view is less when using it. If you hear the sound of metal breaking then you have been hit by bullets. Being hit by explosions is allowed but it does move your plane around alot.
When you are given the prompt to use press 
a short while after to drop the bomb when the marker on the ship turns green.
After bombing the aircraft carrier, I would recommend pausing the game for a few seconds to see if you've gotten the achievement or not and restarting checkpoint if need be, as there's another checkpoint just after this. I paused the game when your character looks down in the cockpit.
A good tip from Killionaire119 in the comments section:
"I was struggling at the first volley of shots, it seems that you move too slow and it is hard to tell if the bullets are going to hit you or not.
However, if you go into settings you can increase the air vehicle sensitivity (which is different to the regular sensitivity setting) which increases your response time and you can dodge the bullets more effectively. I was failing hard until I changed this setting and I got it after a few attempts.
Crank it up all the way to 5 and you'll be good. I recommend going back to 2 if you are going for the dogfight achievement, got it on my second shot."

Copying this over from the TrueTrophies site for visibility, but this got it for me on the first attempt after many many failures. All credit to HitmanMaul over there for the solution. Basically steer the plan down and to the left and keep the ship in the green zone of the right side of the windshield shown in the picture below and the machine guns will never touch you. You'll have to keep adjusting to stay in the zone due to flak but it's much easier than actively trying to dodge.

This might be one of the most frustrating achievement ever, but you need to dodge the bullets the best way you can. If you get hit by explosions, you're fine, but if you get hit by bullets, restart last checkpoint to try again. Achievement/trophy pops if you're successful.

First of all, the flying controls in this game are crap. It often doesn’t even feel like you are controlling the plane but rather it’s just bouncing around like a pinball. I was pulling my hair out with this one and tried all the strategies I could find on the internet but finally found my own that is rather simple to replicate.
First, take your air vehicle sensitivity to 2.0
Then you just want to use light movements on the right stick to keep the carrier in the green section of your viewport below. None of the bullets will get you in that position. Yes, you will get the stray flak that pushes you back but just have to deal with it. I was able to replicate this method easily. Hold it there until you are close enough to drop bomb and bingo.
I paused the game after the explosion to make sure so I didn’t overwrite the checkpoint. It popped for me after a few seconds..

Can you make a video? I tried 20 times, but the bullets keep hitting me. How do you get the last part right without getting hit? You cannot keep the carrier in that corner and get the bomb to drop without getting shot to bits. Also the flak keeps putting me in the path of the bullets.

THANK YOU! I tried this 50+ times with other solutions on TrueAchievements! Almost wrung my controller out like a rag. With your guide, I got it in 3 tries!

Mission 4: The Battle of Midway
This trophy is a very annoying trophy and will probably require multiple attempts. First off, it's way easier to attempt it on Recruit difficulty because being shot by bombs will kill you quickly in Veteran.
Very soon in the mission, you will perform a Dive-bomb with your plane which is basically Dive-Bombing at the ship to drop a bomb to destroy it. While dive-bombing you will be shot at by the ship and for this trophy you need to avoid getting hit by the stream if bullets.
The very good thing is that getting shot by the bombs doesn't void the trophy. You get shot by the bombs whenever you go too far from the action, it kinda work as an invisible wall. You can use this at your advantage to escape the bullets then get hit by bombs instead. However it only works for the first few streams of bullets.
The bullets are not random, it's always the same order so after a few tries you should know where to fly to avoid them. Watch out for the final streams when you aim at the ship as you can get hit here too.
Make sure to not get hit (you can tell when you get hit by buletts as it makes a different sound than the bombs) and if you do, restart the checkpoint and retry.

Mission 4: The Battle of Midway
This achievement can be incredibly frustrating, so be forewarned.
Shortly into this mission, after the first short dogfight, you'll be told to initiate the first dive bomb. You'll get a checkpoint right as the dive bomb takes place, and you'll be reverting to it often. You'll now be heading straight down towards a ship that is shooting up at you. The best way to explain how this part works is to imagine you're flying down a tube. If you hit the edges of this (invisible) tube, you will get hit with explosives that'll rattle your ship and push you back into the middle. While you're in the middle, the guns of the ship below will try to shoot you. Your goal, for this achievement, is to reach the ship, press
to drop the bomb on it, and pull up, without getting hit by a single bullet. It is completely fine if you go too close to the edge and get hit with explosives; that doesn't void this achievement.
This achievement is somewhat skill and somewhat luck. One major tip that may help a lot of people is to pause the game, go into Settings, and change the "Vehicle Sensitivity" to as high as it will go. This will allow you to make sudden changes in direction with your plane, potentially making it easier to dodge bullets.
What worked for me was staying as close to the center as possible, and instead of dodging the lines of bullets coming from the ships, try to follow them. For example, if the gun on the left shoots from the bottom to the top, go under the bullets and follow them up. Then move to the right side and follow that gun's bullets. Easier said than done, though. To put it in perspective, this achievement easily took me 30 tries. Each try is short, but it can be incredibly frustrating to get hit by errant bullets when you think you're dodging just fine. Unfortunately, all I can really say is keep at it and get a rhythm down, and you'll eventually get a lucky run where you succeed.

The trophy is difficult, it took 30 attempts, the main thing is that anti-aircraft shells do not hit you, you can receive damage from explosions

Was able to get it quite quickly on Rookie difficulty, try to stay as far away from the bullets as possible, stay to the right side at first. It seemed that the bullets hit but the trophy fell out at the end

Passed on an easy difficulty level, with almost maximum sensitivity. after studying some strategies, I discovered my own, I turned on the digital sight on the monitor and held it near the right ship, looked at the tracers from our target and with peripheral vision and wiggled up/down without turning almost to the sides, that’s how I aimed and left it, launched the bomb is almost on its way.

One of the three most annoying glitchy achievements in the game.
The essence of the glitch is crooked control, incorrect requirements for receiving, inappropriate to the surrounding reality. The developers implied that when you aim at the bombing sight, you will move away from the tracers by maneuvering between bursts; in practice, using the sight, this is impossible to do.
Recipe: there is no universal remedy here, everyone finds their own method. I'm sharing mine.
1. Set the difficulty to Rookie.
2. As soon as the exit animation goes into a dive, you get a checkpoint, this is your main friend, thank heavens he is right before the very beginning.
3. Change the sensitivity of aircraft in the settings from 1 to 3.5! It is important . Otherwise, you won't have time.
4. We don’t use the sight until the last moment! It limits your visibility and restricts your movements. 100% guarantee to catch the tracer.
5. Immediately take the right side. We go up and down from the tracers. We don’t use left-right - here I mean full travel from edge to edge; of course you’ll have to steer a little from side to side. Getting hit by anti-aircraft guns may not affect the achievement, but several hits can lead to death.
6. 1-2 times, approximately in the middle of the route, I had to “dive” under the tracers from right to left, but (!) again, not a full move from side to side, I dived and immediately returned to the original right side!
7. The most unpleasant point, since you will have to do it often - as soon as you hear the tracer hit (a metal knock on the fuselage) - reboot the checkpoint.
8. As soon as you carry out a successful bombing and the animation of explosions on the deck starts, immediately press pause, wait a few seconds, if everything successfully pops up, if not, reload the checkpoint. If you miss the moment, there will be another checkpoint and the mission will have to start over.

On the eighth point: the trophy falls at a certain moment, after the entire ship has flown over, a second or a half before the autosave, at the moment when the message appears that the task is completed, it is better to watch a video for example powepyx, in order to understand when the trophy pops up and not have to restart again or miss the checkpoint
There is no delay in the drop, the trophy drops immediately at a certain moment
