+**Achievements** are permanent milestones awarded from [[components:statistics|Player Statistics]]. Statistics are recorded from the first sortie; rewards require a linked Discord account and are evaluated retroactively after linking.
-Public achievements and their current official criteria are listed below. Hidden achievements remain unnamed and their criteria stay secret until they are earned. Thresholds may be rebalanced when enough live data exists, so this page describes the current catalogue rather than a permanent promise.
+===== Linking Is What Unlocks =====
-===== Airmanship milestones =====
+An unlinked account records everything it flies but earns no achievement: Tycoon only says in the mission that something is waiting, never what, and ''Tycoon > Statistics > Show my statistics'' keeps showing how many. Link with ''/linkme'' in Discord and type the token in DCS chat, see [[components:dcsbot|DCSBot]]. Everything already earned is granted within a minute and posted to the achievements channel one by one.
+Linking late costs nothing but position. The achievements that only a limited number of players worldwide can hold - world firsts and the prestige rows - and the ''#1 worldwide'' marker go to whoever **claims** them first, so a linked player can take the last place while an unlinked one is still waiting.

-New unlocks can appear in the DCS mission and in the Discord achievements channel. Hidden achievements reveal their name and description only after being earned. ''/tycoon optout'' suppresses public output without deleting recorded progress; ''/tycoon deletemydata'' removes achievements together with the player's other personal progression data where enabled.
+New unlocks appear in the DCS mission and in the Discord achievements channel, but only for linked accounts: an unlinked player is told privately, never by name in front of the server. A hidden achievement reveals its name and description only after it is earned. Opting out of public output and deleting recorded data work the same way as for every other recorded value, see [[components:statistics|Player Statistics]].
