Darth Vader hero ship health seems to be wrong

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug Darth Vader's hero ship health is quite a bit lower than other hero ships. Since he doesn't really have any particular ability that would counter this, it makes playing with him not very much fun. Even equipped with cards, he has less health than a regular bomber, and he can be taken down with just a few shots from an average fighter. Next time your team does a "tweaking" update, this should really be addressed.
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? Alliecat7803
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug?
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM)
In what game mode did the bug occur? Starfighter Assault
What is your time zone?
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play as darth vader hero ship in SA.
What happens when the bug occurs? Seconds after spawning, an average fighter can take down vader with a few shots. It has occurred to me that he receives more damage than he should, but I think it is just that he starts out with so little health compared to other heros. I can't imagine this is intentional, it makes his ship pretty useless.
What do you expect to see? Health on par with other hero ships, especially considering that he does not have repair systems like many other hero ships.

This is one of those hero ships that is practically impossible to level up.  The significantly lower health of this ship means that it is difficult to garner more than a few hundred points in a round where you are able to choose Vader...slower than a snail when you need 20,000 XP to level up.

  • I've been reading the canon books, and man, just reading the descriptions of how Vader can fly circles around his enemies and take so much damage and not die...totally not in line with how his ship performs in the game.

    A great fix for this would be to allow Vader's health to sit at zero IF his focused rage was still active.  This would be in line with how Vader survives damage to his ships in the canon.  It would be more creative than just upping his health level, though that would probably be easier to adjust, I guess.  Right now, the Vader ship isn't all that unique in it's abilities, but this would make it definitely more Vader-ish, and more fun to play.
