I figured id write an achievement guide for this game since so very few people are playing it. Im going through the game again and writing it as i go, so its still quite incomplete. No one is rushing to write a guide for this one, so i figured id go ahead and post what i had written so far. Ill update it as i go.
I am listing the campaign achievements in the order that you will unlock them, rather than the way they are numbered.I have included my score for each mission as a reference point of about what it will take to get an ace ranking. I have also listed the secondary objectives for levels that have them. If you dont complete the objective on the first go through, make yourself a note! The game does not tell you which ones you have and have not completed.
Mission 01 :Old Secrets
This mission is pretty straight forward. First you must fly around and collect 10 stunt markers. To collect them you just have to fly through them, you don't have to do any stunt. The one thing to note on this mission, is if you crash before you collect the 10 rings, you need to select restart the mission, not continue from checkpoint. The reason for this is that you need to beat the mission fairly quickly to get a time bonus if you want to achieve Ace Ranking. If you continue from the checkpoint you will still be restarting the mission, but it will also count the time you spent on the first runthrough in the total. The second part of the mission is to shoot down a few German planes, should be cake. To finish you must land, but doing so is very easy in this game, just follow the on screen instructions. It is much easier to just get Veteran Pilot the first time through on this mission and replay it later after you have the +10%PP upgrade.

Ace Score: 2500
Planes Unlocked: Hurricane I, Hurricane II, Gladiator
Weapons unlocked: None
Skins Unlocked Spitfire I - parade
Mission 02 : Special Delivery
Use the recommended plane. Hold on to your 2500 prestiege points and skip buying any upgrades. Follow Teach. Drop the chick on the train. You now have 10 minutes to get 1100 PP fighting germans. Try to do this as quickly as possible, as it will afford you more time to do the secondary objective. Press up once on the D pad to engage your wingman, and it will speed things up.
Secondary Objective #1 - Shoot down the German Ace and Wingmen.
Ace Score:
Planes Unlocked: Swordfish, Barracuda, Buccanneer
Weapons unlocked: bombs
Skins unlocked: Hurricane B- Parade
Mission 03 : Italian Night Out
Still pass on buying any upgrades. Use the swordfish. To shootdown the planes with your tailgunner, just fly around for a while and eventually they will die.
Secondary Objective #2 - Destroy the ammo stores on the dock. Do this after you finish off the italian fleet.
Ace Score: 4000
Planes Unlocked: Spitfire V, F2a Buffalo, Seafire
Weapons Unlocked: none
Skins Unlocked: Swordfish Parade.
Mission 04 : Shadow of the Pyramids
Use the Spitfire V. Buy the newly unlocked Mission Report training for 2000. It increases all earned Prestiege by 10%. Also get the Long Barrels for 5000, which increase your range by 10%. As soon as the mission starts hit up on the D-Pad 3 times to engage your wingmen to help you earn PP faster. Also press right on the Dpad every couple minutes to use your offensive wingmans special attack. For the Zeppellin fight, Only approach from directly in front or behind. If you approach from the side the turrets will tear you up.
Ace Score: 6000
Planes Unlocked: Fw 190 D9, Me 109E, Defiant
Weapons Unlocked: Rockets
Skins: Spitfire V Parade
Mission 05 : Rendezvous
Buy the Self Sealing Fuel tank for 5000, The Gyro gunsight for 2000, and Engine Armor for 2000. For the chase part, simply fly around and use LB to lock on to the girl. Fire missiles at her whenever you see her health start going down. Your missiles wont hurt her but they will kill any bad guys hindering her.
Ace Score:
Planes Unlocked: PE-2, Beaufighter, Stuka
Weapons: none
Skins: FW 190 D9 - parade
Mission 06 - Grand Theft
Use the Seafire with rockets.
Secondary Objective #3- destroy 15 balloons,
Ace Score: 5000
Planes unlocked: Typhoon, Me 110 C, J2M Raiden
Weapons Unlocked: Flash Blinder
Skins: Seafire Parade
Mission 07 - A Flashlight to a Gunfight
At this point I would buy Extra Ammo capacity for 5000 and quicker loading for 2000. From here on out its just personal preference, so i wont be listing any more upgrades. The submarine you must locate is directly on top of the second stunt marker from the right side of the big map if you hit Y. After that just fly around and when you are getting shot at hit X. Repeat until all ther germans have crashed. Make sure to hit up twice and use right on the Dpad once your team joins you.
Ace score : 3000
Planes Unlocked: IL-2, FW 190A, ME 110 E
Weapons Unlocked: Flak Gun
Skins: Typhoon Parade
Mission 08 - Target: Red Square
This is the most frustrating mission in the game. The guys on the radio keep telling you to target bombers, but you will never win that way. Instead set your guys to attack, and keep using Cowboys special move, having him target the stukas, while you concentrate on all ground troops and paratroops. When you have killed all ground forces, the Red Square will be safe and the next part of the mission begins.
More to come.
