World of Tanks

For this achievement you must kill the commander of the tank and damage the viewfinder. When playing normally you should aim at tanks cupolas (the bump on top of a tanks turret) as this is where the commander and viewfinder are on MOST tanks. In addition you can use the methods below for better chances of critical damage to the commander/viewfinder:

1.) Use tanks that shoot primarily HE/HESH/HEP rounds. Some good tanks for this method are:
--Most artillery
--KV-2 (and gun but the ZIS gun)
--SU152 (152mm gun)
--M4 Sherman (with 105mm)
--T49 (especially the top package)
--and low tiers: M2 medium, Cruizer IV, T18, any other tank with a Howizter gun

2.) Use a rapid firing tank and a crew with the "Deadeye" skill. This skill increases the chance for critically damage components when NOT using HE/HESH/HEP rounds. This bonus is calculated per shot. Good tanks for this method are:
--Pz. II C
--T7 Combat Car
--T1E6-X(1)
--Any tank with a fast fire rate

Ok i found a way to boost this achievement.

You need:
- L.Traktor ( tier I german )
- package: Leichttraktor III ( rapid fire gun )
- at least 1 friend with a L.Traktor

You will search at the same time and hope that your friend is on the opposing team. Then you meet at a spot where you are alone so that no other tankers disturb you. Then aim at his viewfinder ( this little zylindric thing on top of his turret ) after your friend told you that you have destroyed it, you can shoot at his commander ( he is in the top of the turret, shoot at the back of his turret to easily kill him ) to be sure that you get the achievement destroy his tank and you will instantly unlock it.

Note:
you can train the shooting part with your friends in proving grounds.

Don't give up if you don't find your friend, the chances are better when there are a low number of players on the server ( try one of the other servers or try at a different day time )

Ok tankers just got this, and thought I would shear as to how I unlocked it, this not a solution per say as it is more of an advice on how you may want approach unlocking this achievement.

First let me say I was trying to get it by playing normally using tier 5 and up with no luck, did manage to take out a lot of view finders but no commanders.

So if you are having the same issues like I was, start using tier 1 or tier 2 tanks with MACHINE GUNS this can not be stressed enough.

For example the American light T7 Car this was a give away tank that WOT gave to everyone for the first year anniversary on the XBOX 360, and the American light T1E6-X1 which was a give away if you pre down loaded the game for the XONE.

If you do not have these tanks, no worries you can use the British tier 1 Medium 1 tank and use the second package machine gun upgrade.

Ironically I got the achievement after about a hour of game play using the T1E6-X1 and taking out a T7 Car, while using auto aim with standard rounds, I came up on his right side about 20-30 yards away on level ground, again I repeat I used auto aim with standard rounds and the achievement popped while in the match.

If possible you may want to be on high ground shooting down at your intended target for a better chance of popping this achievement.

My point is use tier 1 or tier 2 tanks with Machine guns for a better chance of getting this achievement, and don't forget to auto aim at them and blast away, have fun tankers and I'll see you on the battle field.

Please feel free to comment on which tank you used.

Just wanted to add how I just unlocked this achievement.

I was literally using the first Tier 1 French Artillery Tank (the one that looks like it belongs on a WW1 battlefield and difficult to control/slow) I dropped an Artillery shell right on top of a stationary enemy. (When in view mode, hold Right Thumbstick to get a closer/direct angle camera view)

BOOM! Achievement unlocked

I will say there’s a bit of luck and dedication that goes into getting this achievement.

Good Luck TA Friends! :)
