You might want to remove the "without being seen" if you have to take out a ton of enemies before you even get to that spot. +1 though

So I if you are in the capaign and have done close as I did, then heres a good spot in the fourth mission where you can knock this out as well and quick. Its when you get to the dock from the left at the beginning.
Take out the enemies when the reinforments come, so you dont get spotted, plant a tnt, bust the tank, create a save somewhere safe and close (look at video), satchel that sucker, rinse and repeat.
Literally take out all the enemies in that area. The AI enemies are too far to hear the explosions, if you have taken out the necessary enemies.
Honestly took me about 10-15 mins, but I did have 5 or so under my belt already. Just another solution.
Cheevo popped but I guess XboneDVR doesnt pick it up. :\
This is how I worked my way to getting the Achievement.
At the beginning of Mission 4 you can head straight down the hill and if you look ahead you'll see a pillbox just head straight for it and then once you've made it to the right hand side of it make a save then place a satchel on it then quickly move away and wait for it to blow (Hold down □/x to ignite) after it blows wait a couple secs then reload the save and just rinse and repeat till achievement pops :)

Worked great thanks.
I would like to add if you place the satchel on then save it makes it a little quicker as all you need to do is load then wait for it to blow. Rinse and repeat

Very easy thanks did as above and saved just before it blew up. Restart checkpoint and wait for the words to come up saying the pillbox is destroyed, then repeat.

If you haven’t reached 25 satchel charge kills by the end of the campaign, just reload the Lorino Dockyard mission on any difficulty, kill your way to the pillbox near the beginning, and destroy it. Repeat until the achievement unlocks.
As the description says these vehicles have to be manned for this trophy. There are plenty of manned tanks/manned pillboxes (gun turrets) around during your play through. The easiest way to stop the tank/vehicle is to shoot it's gas tank (this won't blow it up just slow it down). Making sure the turret driver can't see you place the satchel charge on the back (you can also make a save beforehand) and blow it up. Load up the save rinse and repeat.
What makes this achievement simple is that you can make a manual save once you’ve planted a satchel charge and then keep reloading that save to unlock this quickly. There are many opportunities to get this throughout the campaign, but the best locations are in Mission 4, ‘Lorino Dockyard’.
- There is a pillbox near the beginning of the mission to the southeast of your start point. Make your way down the incline to the right and across the dirt road is the pillbox. Place the satchel charge by holding , save your game then set the timer by holding . When the pillbox has been destroyed, reload your save and repeat as necessary.
- In the northeast section of the map, there are five unmanned targets in close proximity to each other (two tanks and three AB41 armored vehicles). Before you destroy the first vehicle, save your game. Then proceed to place satchel charges on each vehicle, setting the timer after placing. Once you’ve destroyed the fifth vehicle, reload your save and repeat as necessary.
It has been discovered that if a pantherturm or vehicle has someone alive in them, you cannot place a satchel charge. Whether this is a glitch or not is unknown. So despite the description saying “manned,” it has been confirmed you can do this on unmanned targets.
Thanks to moomootrophy for the video:
