Sorry to hear that you're still struggling with battle chests.
As I have mentioned elsewhere, I found Town Centre plants chest 4 very challenging, so I am glad to hear that you got it 🙂

Why are the ai so strong, and we seem so weak.
Something I noticed about the AI in battle chests is that your team mates will play to your ability, so if you play poorly then they will too, whereas playing well will lift them up. Essentially your team reflect your skill level.
I don't know if that knowledge is helpful for winning, but once I realised this I stopped blaming my teammates when I lost. Except in PvP. In PvP if we lose it is always my team mates fault 😉

@jnicol1975I can't imagine that it works like this.
I might be wrong (it’s been known to happen!)
What makes me think the AI adapt to your playing is my experience of Plants Town Centre chest 4. I noticed is that if I didn’t get a vanquish in the first few moments, the zombies would pull ahead by about 7 vanquishes almost immediately. However if I rushed to take down a couple of zombies straight out of the gate, my team would pull ahead, even though my 2 kills shouldn’t have been enough to close the gap.
It’s possible I’m seeing patterns that don’t exist, though...
I might run a test by playing a match as if I’m not there (Vanquish no one, don’t get vanquished) and see how my team performs by themselves. Then get, say, 10 vanquishes and see if my team steps up their performance too.
Probably not very scientific, but I’m curious to see what happens.
@jnicol1975It might supposed to work this way but the AI is even having a hard time to find its way through the map. It would be no surprise if a bug would be blocking that hidden mechanic.

@jnicol1975 I do think the AI target you over your team AIs even if two of you are doing damage at the same time.
I think so too, and they are total aimbots. Had a funny moment though when I was trying to let them kill me. I stood right in the middle of a group of 5 zombies, and they totally ignored me and concentrated fire on my team mates. I survived and the 5 zombies died!
