I seen a video on how to obtain the secret achievement, Death From Above. I went on training and did it three times and no achievement. I don't know if it is a bug or if you guys purposely patched that. I really hope you didn't patch it because this is one is really a pain and I don't like boosting for achievements. If it is a bug, I hope you guys can fix it. Thank you!

Instead of trying to cheat to get the achievement, or trying to boost to get it....

 

How about you EARN the achievement as intended. 

[LegendRaySTR3]

I have been trying for months. And since the chances of finding the right situation to get this achievement is unlikely, many people got the achievement in training. It isn't cheating. And I don't boost unless there is a bug or glitch. I also did land on a tank but because of the layout of the map, I only damaged the tank. I rather play the game as it is meant to be, drive a tank and shoot at tanks. Not hiding on a hill and trying to squish a tank. In my opinion this is a stupid achievement but being able to get it in training was nice. I just never knew you could get it that way until recent. Besides, it is a video game, who really cares how I get the achievement. Don't need to act like it is a big deal. Many others have done it on Training and I want to know why I can't. Don't need to get all upset and negative about it. It is only a game.

It is only a game, have fun trying to get it, no need to take the boring route and cheat your way past everything.

 

When you get it you WILL laugh your [edited]off, it's a fun achievement to EARN. :)

[zeus 171]

Don't cheat.

Go to Mines and land on someone from above, that's the way I did it.

Many of the achievements that are on Xbox can be bit tricky.

"Death From Above"

"You've destroyed a tank, squashing them like a bug!"

This one might be just one of the hardest Xbox Live achievements to get, but as many above have stated.... it can be done.... in game.

To get it, your tank must destroy another tank from above by ether landing on it from above or rolling on to it and then crush it(sitting on another tank will slowly take hit points tell the tank is destroyed).

You tank must survive the entire process of the destruction of the tank you’re on.

If you should happen to be destroyed while doing this you could be awarded the Suicide medal instead during impact.

The process that rewards our players with achievements is completely automated.

Typically, if you do not receive a medal, one or more of the criteria for it were not met.

We hope this has given you a bit more information on the crushing achievement.

This achievement is easier on maps were your can roll on to other tanks like on Abbey.(my favorite spot to ROLL OUT... and piggy back the red guy)

 

KSIxDeathKnight... please tell me you did that to a tier 2 light tank in game by failed platoon.

I know it can be done. I didn't say it was impossible. I have been trying to get it. But I hate achievements that require luck. I need to be lucky enough to have an enemy be at the right spot for me to get this achievement. I'm still working on this achievement. But that still has nothing to do with the issue on how you were able to get this achievement on Training. If the game allowed other players to get it that way, then I want to know if it is a bug or if they patched it. I will still work on getting this achievement until they either fix it or I luck out. I have a decently high gamerscore, I know the struggles of grinding and such. It isn't like I'm boosting for it. I just want to know why I wasn't able to get it. I am enjoying the game but since I have an Xbox One and tons of other games to play, I would like to finish this game sooner then later. But honestly,  how about those players who use money on this game and get achievements. Isn't that consider cheating too? Don't preach to me about how to get achievements. I haven't spent a dime on this game. So I can sit here and accuse all those who spent money on this game so it is easier for them to play, cheating as well. But thanks to those for the advice on map/tank. I will try those out as soon as I finish getting my 5th soviet tank. Since this thread isn't helping, I will no longer bothering checking on here. Thanks for all the help to those who gave some. Now time to roll out!

Try on Abbey. Both flanks have places you can "drop in" unannounced on unsuspecting TDs behind bushes

[TheSupremeRula]

Just got this one myself the other day on Erlenberg in my JagTig8,8 was pushing the road behind hog warts and had a cearn backing up away from my shots until he had slipped into the shallow water at the top of the map. Being both of us were alone I kept on driving until I crested the bank and blam, belly flopped on top of him crushing what little life that remained. I was very happy to finally get this achievement came close a few times but was thwarted due to "helpful" teammates firing on the red I was sitting on top of. 

You'll get it eventually and it will be when you least expect it.

Got mine in a Jumbo, on Cliff. 

 

A Pz.38na, come whipping along the road around the lighthouse, didn't like my team mates that showed up at the last second and took the little ledge that drops down along the water to avoid them and their shots, and he went all the way to the end of the ledge.   I was lagging way behind ( since a Jumbo can't exactly keep up ), saw what was happening and headed for the cliff above him - he got to the end of the ledge just before I got to the edge of the cliff above him and came to a stop, I push over and the cliff was just at a shallow enough angle that I slid down and rammed him instead of landing on him.  I took about 3/4 of all his health off of him and was so ticked off that I only rammed him, that I decided to push him off of the edge into the water, and followed him just on general principles ( because I hated the Jumbo anyway and it was making for a long grind ).  Well he got stuck in a little V shaped cut, just above the water, but I did land on him that time, killing him ( getting the achievement ), but I was well and truly stuck.  I couldn't go backwards up the cliff face or forwards into the water and so I spent the rest of the game with my gun pointed back over the back deck of my tank, until the rest of my team died, and the opposing team spend close to another 5 minutes looking for me, before deciding to cap the base when they couldn't find me.   All anyone on the other team had to do, was poke their tank over the edge and they could have picked up a Death from Above themselves, for very little effort.

[LEEFERNEE]

I got mine about 4 days ago landed on a gw tiger who was trying to drown himself on mountain pass. I was in my m48 patton. My best kill ever in WoT. 

Its nice killing a arty anyway but a arty who is scumbagging a drown and as a reward I get death from above. I love you RNG (sometimes lol)

[S5 V8]

I does seem difficult to get the crushing part "just right" have attempted it twice, once on Mines and once on Sands killing the tank below me, but bouncing off just enough to not get the achievement.

[Niks78]

Have this achievement been removed from wot xbox? I just crushed a medium tank with my conqueror... did not get the death from above achievement... :/
