Are you playing in VR? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Fleet Battles
What were you doing when the bug occurred? Step by Step detail is helpful.

Where did this issue occur? Please include menu name or in game location. In Ranked Fleet Battle on the Yavin map.

What happens when the bug occurs? A team consisting of mostly support ships (3 tie reapers, in this case) were capable of taking down both Nebulon B's and the MC-75, while sustaining no loses and making it nearly impossible for us to swing momentum.
What do you expect to see? Corvettes, Frigates, and Capital ships targeting these mines with their lasers instead of firing at AI ships that were outside their range.
Which ship were you playing? If not applicable, just answer "no" or "none." Not applicable.

Anti-Material Rocket Turret component appears to be highly unbalanced. It allows support ships to cause massive damage to capital ships without entering the capital ship's range. Highly frustrating to play against, requires a player to choose between going for Momentum by attacking the support ships before they retreat, or preventing the turets from causing massive damage to a capital ship.
In the practice tool, I was able to take a Star Destroyer down to 19/100 without ever taking down it's shields or destroying a sub-system using only the Anti-Material Rocket Turret. I never took any serious damage since I was at the Star Destroyer's maximum range at most.
