How to unlock the The Howling Commandos achievement in Marvel Pinball - Definitive Guide

[Difficulty: Medium] Overview | Discussion
As mentioned in the overview, there are 4 Commandos that can assist the Cap. In order to get this trophy, you will have to find all 4 during a single game. Hit the 2 yellow Howlers' Targets above the left flipper lanes to light the Howlers' sinkhole below them. Hitting the sinkhole will start the Howlers' mission. The Plunger, the Center Ramp and the 2 main orbits will light up, and a 40 second timer will start running on the DMD. Hit any 3 of the 4 lit ramps/orbits before the timer runs out to win the mission and get access to a random Commando. Each successful hit adds 5 seconds to the timer. Any sinkhole, including the ones that opened up in front of the Left and Right Ramp will hold enemies. If you happen to hit the ball into one of them, you’ll find yourself on the Supply Drop mini playfield. You’ll have to win this game in order to continue the mission. The mission is lost if the timer runs out, or if you fail the Mini Game. Repeat this mission four times to win the trophy. Saving Bucky has no bearing on this trophy.
When making the shots to the Howlers' targets, I recommend you have the right kickback enabled. After a hit, the ball will bounce in the direction of the right flipper lanes, and often right into the outlane.
This video by StOrMtRoOpErMx19 shows how it's done.

Hit the 2 yellow Howling Commando targets above the left flipper, at the base of the left chute, to highlight the Howling Commando sinkhole just below. Hitting the hole will start the Howler mission.
4 stars will light up on the table - Red Skull Ramp and Assault Ramp, as well as both orbits. And a 40-second timer will start counting down on the matrix screen. Hit any 3 of the 4 marked ramps/orbits with the ball before time runs out to receive one random Howler.
Each successful roll adds 5 seconds. And all the holes on the table, plus two more that open under the Left and Right ramps, are occupied by enemies. If the ball hits one of them, the Captain will have to withstand an Ambush on the mini-field. Here you need to reflect with your shield 9 bullets fired at one of 9 random barrels, first it blinks, then it shoots. The left three shots are deflected by pressing
, right 3 on 
, central 3 without pressing. The captain will lose after 2 hits. Having won, you can continue the mission.The mission is lost if the timer runs out and if the mini-game is lost.
To get the trophy you need to repeat the mission four times. You don't need a tank for the trophy.
