Could you please tone done the difficulty of the AI in Fleet Battles including the enemy squadronsi can barely get by in the danger zones.

I agree, the AI does crazy things like insta locking on spawn. It is indeed very, very difficult to get close to the capital ship ( the support ships I can reach without too much trouble ). Yesterday, my friend and I ended up using A-wing at full boost to reach a Star Destroyers shield turrets because our Y-wings just got shot down by the turbo lasers before we could even start shooting. From my experience so far, when playing against AI, it is better to focus on the fighters and let the support ships to the damage on the capital ship.

It would certainly be nice if they toned down Difficulty of Fleet Battles vs. AI for "Easy" difficulty. The way it is, it seems too hard to win the scenario on "Easy" and even harder to play than the PVP variant. "Easy" difficulty should be easy. 😉That said, keeping "Normal" difficulty the way it is should be fine, though, as players that are part of a well-oiled squadron will enjoy the challenge. Maybe even consider adding a "Hard" difficulty for the most hardcore squadrons out there.

@CA1-PAINLESSI haven't tried normal mode yet but Fleet battles on easy is WAY too hard. (that's why I haven't played on normal). I have played like 5 battles vs AI on easy and the AI won every single time. It's just shredding my team.Keep the dificulty level of normal, but AI on easy must definitely be toned down. It's just frustraiting as it's right now.

Nah, you're completely wrong. The difficulty is a huge problem - because there is no path to improve.It is impossible to destroy the shield generators on the star destroyer in AI mode. Impossible. Not improbable, not difficult - impossible. It can't be done. The game tells you to use bombers to attack capital ships. A Y-wing flies so slowly it rarely even makes it to the star destroyer, let alone delivers any meaningful damage. After I make short work of the AI pilots in each dogfight mode, clean up both their cruisers without losing either of mine, then the second the "Attack the Star Destroyer" stage starts it's game over. You just fly towards it and are killed INSTANTLY by a combination of the AI pilots and the unbelievably accurate and powerful shooting from the star destroyer. There is literally ZERO point to even attempting to attack it. The game at that point is sitting back and letting the Corvette try to damage the star destroyer, then hoping you can fend off the superpowered, indestructible AI fighters before they blow up the paper napkin that is the Calamari Cruiser. If there was some way to get better, it wouldn't be an issue. I don't mind hard games. But you don't learn anything and there's no skills to improve when you can't even approach the ship. It's a joke.

Please do not change the difficulty for normal. We did it a few times last night and its fine as is!

@Cave_Waverider Same here! and it's not just instant lock on spawn, the ai seems to have greater survivability. Like the ai can make instant tight turns while we turn like a Damn Ocean Liner, and don't get me started on how they're shields are invunerable and they can shoot through our shields like yantar butter then blow us away in like 4 shots! And shoot us perfectly while we're moving. Come on EA you're slacking, FIX THIS!!!!!!!!!

aren't there 2 difficulty options?
Make sure you're picking the right one.

I actually feel the opposite, I feel like they should add a hard mode. As people start to learn the game and become better, they will want more of a challenge.

I agree with you last night I lost 4 battles on easy and plus the drift isn’t working for me as I’ve tried it but nothing happened I think it’s locked behind the campaign

Honestly. I don't know if its bugged cause I'm on the trial version or something but for me there's basically no enemy fighters, so it's pretty much impossible to advance the front line. I don't know how exactly I'm supposed to destroy the enemy ships cause they're always stuck in the danger zone and insta kill me? It's like they didn't even bother testing it at all.
