    I need help, what is the best way to destroy vehicles?

    All I need to do to get the Shadow Operative title is kill 50 vehicles and I am not doing well. I figured I would just focus on just killing vehicles in Shadow Wars and after 8 hours of trying to kill vehicles I only got 4 kills -_-
    I figured in that time I would have gotten 50 kills.

    Anyway the problems I have noticed are...

    1:I kill vehicles half the time with other vehicles
    2 Missle launchers do nothing to four wheelers, I have tried the VOT MASS, the Guided ANTI Vehicle, the Guided two shot, and the Interceptor.
    3 Grenade launchers barly do anything most the time they do no damage when the do they 70% the time only kill the driver.

    I have cloak shadow strike and wrecking ball maxed yet I am getting bad results and I dont get it esp since people total me and my vehicle with much less than what I throw at them. To top it off players have noticed I am going for vehicle kills and have been jumping off their vehicles before I get a kill.

    Oh and I got a 2nd question when you get a head shot it will always show the head shot symbol right? I just got that award for 50 PvP head shots in Shadow Wars with my Purple level Lightning Cyclone... I think. I say I think because the award poped 2 min after I last used it. I was using the VOT Disruptor and not once did I get the head shot icon.

    The best way to do it is to get on the opposite team as a clan mate in a sw and find a mutual spot that yall can meet and get him to launch his vehicle and destroy his vehicle while he is on it, it would be a lot faster with more than one helping.

    That is definitely the easiest way to do it.

    If you're trying to do it in straight combat, you might try a Derailer sniper rifle with the Wrecking Ball perk applied. That worked for me to kill Hannibals often in one shot.

    Derailer bolt action sniper + wrecking ball perk.
    1 shots runners and 2-3 for cerbs, against players not using crash test dummy perk.

    Edit:
    You can actually 1 shot cerbs if there is only 1 player in it (w/o CTD) and their cerberus skill is low enough.

    Mad Kain "Pale Wars Ronin" created- launch day

    A developer is only as good as the last thing they released.
    -Rift- was why i was willing to spend $160 pre-ordering the ultimate edition of Defiance a couple weeks before launch.
    -Defiance- is why i won't buy another Trion title at full price if at all.

    Which platform are you on?
    The clock goes round and round.
    Where it goes nobody knows.
    Except those few who don't try and loose.
    The clock keeps ticking as fortune glooms.
    Fore those who are loose with what they choose.
    The clock keeps ticking over those bafoons while the watchful eye always looms.

    You get rewarded one after finishing the "Lost in Transit" side mission from Rosa Rodriguez, at Top-Notch Toolworks.

    Their just like any other item, just none available through vendors.
    They vary from white common to nice Orange legendary. And the Derailer works fine as a normal bolt action sniper, not just for destroying vehicles.

    Edit:
    Another important thing, when going for your vehicle kills you need to hit the vehicle not the person driving them, killing the driver does not count as a vehicle kill.

    Thank you everyone for yor suggestion for killing vehicles and finishing the Shadow War objectives. I love my new Shadow Op title!!! I just dont understand how the derailer does a better job at killing vehicles than rockets and grenade launchers.
