Achievement question

[CorvusBB39]

This is curiosity as achievements are just brag rights not affecting gameplay, right?

 

One such is "Solo Warrior - Stand alone against at least 4 enemy ships and win the battle. Can be obtained once per battle."

 

The other day I was in a Co-op battle, 6v6 all Cruisers, a couple level III, the other four IIs.  I in my Chikuma and another II cruiser went up to the corner, flushed out a III, II pair and killed them.  I was at about one-third health; the other guy perished.  The other four on both sides had gotten into a furball in the center and when I finally took a look at the minimap all I see left are four reds; the other group had caused some damage but not put any away.

 

To make a long story short, using the islands a cover and accepting some damage I managed to pick three off one at a time until I found myself facing the half-health III with nothing but open ocean between us.  So I yolo charged, weaving from side to side to throw his aim off and also get both sides' guns into play.  Somewhat to my surprise, it worked.

 

But no achievement.  Do they mean  Random battles only for the achievement?

You can only get achievements in random and ranked battles. The game mode the people are intended to play the majority of is PvP, Thus you can only get achievements in PvP. Also PvE is a lot easier than PvP, so everyone would just be farming free achievements and signals if you could get them in PvE.

Yes, because then it'd be way to easy to farm flags for Kraken, solo warrior, clear sky, etc. Bots are far to easy to win against.

Some of the recent missions have allowed for receiving signals and some other awards, but yeah, achievements are PvP only.

That's what I suspected.  I'm playing Co-op for a while until I get my skill levels to the point where my survival time in a Random game is longer than the queue time.
