How to unlock the Carrier Dropper achievement in Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon - Definitive Guide
Just to add you will keep your kills when you select restart, but not your points/xp
Carriers are the aircrafts that stay stationary in the sky and drop down Gunships. Destroy them by shooting the 2-4 red deployment bays that the Gunships come from or by shooting the red circle in the rear of the ship. There are only about 10 carriers in the whole campaign so this will take some grinding. The red circle in the back of the ship is only vulnerable when the deployment bays are opened up. The are carriers like the own shown in the photo and there are larger ones that have 4 deployment bays (not shown in photo).
Grind Spot:
There are 2 carriers right at the beginning of Mission 1 in Chapter 2. You don't have to finish the mission to get credit for the kills. You can take out the two carriers, allow yourself to die and then just restart the level. Waiting to do this on normal with a Level 7 armor set is best as you'll shoot down the carriers very quickly.
Example of Carrier with weak spots open (left) and one that is closed (right):
There are only 8 carriers in the Campaign, so this will take a bit of grinding. There are a few levels in the Campaign with two carriers each, so if you haven't got this after getting all your other kill-related achievements you can load up Chapter 2, Mission 1 to finish this off.
