Call of Duty Vanguard Duck And Dive Trophy Guide / Achievement Guide - In The Battle of Midway, avoid getting hit by bullets during the first Dive-Bomb [Bronze]

Mission 4: The Battle of Midway
Objective: Start the dive-bomb / Bomb the first carrier

In mission 4 you'll be flying an airplane. Shortly after you take off, you will need to perform a dive-bombing attack on an enemy ship. It will shoot streams of bullets at you while you fly downwards. There will also be explosive Anti-Air rounds going off but getting hit by those is okay and doesn't void the trophy. You just can't get hit by bullets for this trophy.

The best way to do it is to spin the right stick clockwise at all times. This gives you greater control over the plane because the steering will be more reactive as you're already spinning. Turning off the music volume and turning the plane sensitivity up to maximum in the settings also helps. Refer to the video to see where to fly exactly. When a new stream of bullets starts shooting you should switch to flying on the opposite side. Do it in this order:

- 1st bullet stream: Steer down and to the left (while spinning right stick clockwise)
- 2nd bullet stream: Streer down and to the center (while spinning right stick clockwise)
- 3rd/4th bullet streams: Steer down and to the right (while spinning right stick clockwise)
- 5th bullet stream: Steer down and to the left (while spinning right stick counter-clockwise)
- 6th bullet stream: Steer down and to the right (while spinning right stick clockwise)
- 7th/8th bullet streams (while zooming in with L2 scope and spinning right stick clockwise): Steer down and to the left, then R1 drop the bomb and R-UP pull up after dropping it.

Keep spinning the right stick at all times but pull it straight to the right or straight to the left to change directions quickly. To stay on the left you can spin counter-clockwise. You'll see that this is much more reactive than keeping the plane steady, because it's already spinning and faster to steer. When you get really close to the ship, you will need to scope in with L2 to aim the bomb, R1 to drop the bomb, then hold R-UP to pull up before the bomb hits the ship. The prompts will also be shown on-screen. The trophy will unlock after you successfully dropped the bomb and triggered the next checkpoint.

If you get hit by a bullet during the dive you can still restart the checkpoint to retry as often as you want. However, because you also get hit by the explosives it can sometimes be hard to tell if you got hit by a bullet or not (you can usually tell the difference by the sound it makes when you get hit). It's highly recommended to make a save game backup when the dive bombing section starts. If you don't get the trophy after the dive bombing, it means you got hit by a bullet. Then you can copy back the save without needing to replay the mission each time. Go to console settings -- Saved Data Management (PS4) / Saved Data and Game/App Settings (PS5) -- Saved Data -- Console Storage -- Copy to USB (PS4) / Upload to Cloud Storage (PS5).

This is definitely one of the most tricky trophies in the game and will take many attempts. It's best to switch the difficulty to recruit so that you can take more hits by the explosive anti-air rounds. You usually get hit by those when flying on the outer edge of the diving radius (basically so you can't just fly off too far to the sides), but you can use this to your advantage to get away from the bullets and instead take a hit by the explosive rounds that don't void the trophy.
