Fleet Battles Vs AI is Too Hard
Could you please tone done the difficulty of the AI in Fleet Battles including the enemy squadrons i can barely get by in the danger zones.

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.
- @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!!!!!!!!!
- 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
- @EvilBlakeSnook At first I too had problems with drifting, then I figured out you need to press the boost button again to start drifting, using the dedicated drift button did nothing at all. Hope this helps.
Personally I couldn't see much of a difference in difficulty between easy and normal (as such I agree that easy should get softened down).
I started like everyone on easy and the AI wiped the floor with my face (5-6 times in a row). I don't think that the AI was overpowered in their flying skill or durability like some said, I was able to keep my own in dogfights. I agree with flying in danger zones. If you are in a danger zone any volley from AI fighters or captial ships seems to be an insta kill aka just follow what the game suggests and go on the dfensive.
I eventually theorised that I was constantly losing not because of the difficulty level but because I was in a team with people that are all new and have very little practice (and joined easy to have an easier ride). I subsequently joined in normal mode and guess what I started to win most of the fleet battles.
I know that a lot of you will be disheartened with the losing streak and you just want to get that daily challenge to win one bloody match done. Give it a go on normal, you might be a bit luckier this time.
Also, try dogfight and get some experience. Once you start getting some kills there and kill assists that will definitely boost your confidence and show you that the fleet battle vs AI difficulties aren't just you.
@EvilBlakeSnooki use drift all the time in fleet and dogfight.
- @Dntfknknw I still can’t do it as I think it’s locked behind a campaign mission since I haven’t played the campaign yet
