Capital Ships Have Invisible Lasers

Product: Star Wars: Squadrons
Platform:Steam-PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? SHAOLINMONKSN
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. All the time
Where did this issue occur? Please include menu name or in game location. Imperial Star Destroyer and MC75 capital ships
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) Always
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Can play with mild frustration
What happens when the bug occurs? Capital ships seem to have hidden lasers under the hull which can shoot in any direction and completely ignores the hitbox of the capital ship itself. I'm not sure if this is a bug, or intended behavior to prevent players exploiting blind spots, but as it is now it feels quite unrewarding to try disarming the ships, since even after destroying everything that can be destroyed they are still quite deadly. Here are the videos demonstrating the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbStN1dOHLQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsN0qz7lNGs
What do you expect to see? I expect to see both capital ships susceptible to total disarmament.
Which ship were you playing? If not applicable, just answer "no" or "none." no
What components were you using? irrelevant
Which customizations (if any) were you using? irrelevant

    @ShaolinMonkSn I suspect it was a balancing decision... but given it was a stupid decision i agree with the bug report. There should be no need for untouchable invisble defenses. That's what the fighter escorts are for.

    This needs to be removed from the game. Its not in the show. There is absolutely no reason for it and it ruins authenticity (As EA always does) and basically ruins the game. No wonder they had to give it away!  Its bone head decisions like this that push players away "Balancing" If you strip the ship of it armaments then it should just be stripped. END of story just like they do in the movies and series and cartoons. A ship can be left defense less.
