How to unlock the Vivisectionist achievement in Heroes Over Europe - Definitive Guide

This achievement is probably easiest on a mission where there are plenty of Messerschmitt 110s to target. I will leave the choice of this to you, the player, as there are many missions where there are lots of 110s.

Also, if you are going to do the mission specifically for this achievement, choose the lowest difficulty setting, as the opposition will only do the most basic of evasive manoeuvres.

Line up behind your target 110, and wait for the Ace Kill reticule to fill up COMPLETELY. For the best chance of success, you will need all the Ace Kill time you can get! This is the reason why it is best to play the mission on the lowest difficulty: On higher difficulties you will not be able to stay behind your target long enough, and in the correct position, to fully fill the reticule.

Enter the Ace Kill mode, and shoot out one of the engines first. Then move across to hit the gunner, and then the other engine. Don't go for the gunner first, as it takes too long to hit an engine, and then aim on to the other engine on the other side of the plane.

Make sure that each shot counts. You will not have time to shoot at the same critical hit location twice. Also, do not shoot one engine, followed immediately by the other. This will trigger the Ace cutscene of the plane crashing, rendering the achievement unobtainable from this plane - you will need to find another.

This achievement is a lot easier than you would think from reading this guide. If you don't get it on your first try, you will most definitely get in on your second!

Good luck, and please feel free to ask any questions!

Kill an enemy gunner and destroy both of the plane's engines, during a single Ace Kill session. You can either kill the gunner first, then take out both engines OR you can hit the first engine, then the gunner, then the second engine. I find it easier to kill the gunner first because the fire from the engines often obscures your view of the gunner.

If you destroy both engines before the gunner, the plane will crash and you'll have to try again on another plane. Additionally, if you miss during the process or the meter expires you will have to attempt the trophy again. Fully charging Ace Kill will give you more time to hit all three targets.

This can be performed on any of the following planes:
 

  • Do 17z
  • Ju 88 A-4
  • Me 110 C-4
  • He 111 H-16
  • German B-17
  • He 219 Uhu

Note: In order to get this trophy on the B-17, you must destroy all four engines.

‘Ace Kill’ an enemy bomber in the following way: Find a German Bomber with 2 Engines and a back gunner. I cannot think of 1 Bomber that does not have these, but you want to do this with one that has 2 engines, not 4. Go into ‘Ace Kill’ mode and snipe 1 engine, then the back gunner, and finally, the last engine. Do not take out the 2 engines first, because then you will kill the Bomber and not be able to get the gunner. If you wish, you may kill the gunner, and then 2 engines. See Ace Killer for more details on ‘Ace Killing’.
