Hey there @arbitrary545
Considering I've unlocked this weapon at least on PC side of things, I am pretty sure this assignment is not bugged. I used myself Benét–Mercié Telescopic on Monte Grappa.
Have you done the rest of the requirements for the weapon already and you didn't get it unlocked ? Sometimes the update feed takes it sweet time to update itself, but the weapon should unlock immediately if you have done everything else required for it. In other words, it should record the progress immediately even if it displays it delayed.
But yeah, as long as you get "Vehicle destroyed" , it should count. Unless Perino specifically wouldn't be the cause and that specific weapon wouldn't count progress being a new weapon included and all. That one I unfortunately can't test myself as I've done this assignment already.
I´ve done that yesterday and shot down 2 planes in one round with the Perino, it does definitely count.
Monte Grappa really is the best map for this, I stayed at flag E, repairing the Flak several times and hitting planes with it, then finished them off with the Perino.
@arbitrary545, you should be able to do this as well, keep trying. The Parabellum is really worth it 🙂
