Fleet Battles Vs AI is Too Hard

 The Fleet Vs AI battle difficulty/balancing is fine, specifically the enemy fighters and Imperial SD. Yes the SD is tough as it should be, rebel fighters are strong and its increased firepower compared to the rebel capital ship is balanced accordingly. I only run into problems winning AI battles when I play coop with randoms, solo matches go smooth every time as friendly AI do well engaging enemy fighters and covering me as I make my attack runs in the Ywing. This tells me many players just don't know what they're doing yet or are poorly coordinated with their teammates, Ex: not sticking together, or covering each other etc...

The game is part skill part strategy, and both are needed in equal measure to secure victory. For those of you playing easy and still having trouble winning, I would understand a desire for lowered difficulty I'm ok with that. Practice makes perfect and you gotta start somewhere.

Leave normal alone and give us a hard difficulty please👍

I agree that on Normal it should be challenging, but on Easy it should be winnable more often.

I mean i have played PVP and it's MUCH EASIER in the ranking games than against Easy AI.

The problem is that AI coordinates perfectly, and aims perfectly. Enemy support throws care packages left right and center plain faster than any human could hope to react to who is getting focused.

In the replays, you also see some very fishy maneuvers and lasers basically shooting way off center of their ship. That's really not how it should be on Easy setting at least.

The most frustrating part however is when they assault your Capital ship. I don't think there should be invulnerability on re-spawn, but I barely get out of the Hangar against AI. They SPAWN CAMP you HARD even on Easy mode.

I mean, don't tell me that new players learn a lot from that experience. It's just frustrating in any game when spawn camping is a possible

I agree. Enemy AI coordinate, target and aim perfectly. They also cover their capital ship extremely tightly. On EASY mode.

I can understand if people like a challenge but that is what HIGHER difficulty levels are for. Easy mode is supposed to be easy.

It feels like the difficulty is reversed. My squad had no issue taking on normal mode, but got demolished on easy. 

Yeah I've been playing on easy and im getting pretty sick of getting my butt kicked. Who in their right mind thought this was a good difficult for something called easy. The stupid cruiser sometimes takes out my capital ship on the first round. This is just stupid. Im pretty good at this game too. The first couple times I played it it was fine. I beat it no problem. But its like the game increased difficulty. I just beat it again but man it was CLOSE. I didn't I was gonna be able to do it. Sometimes as soon as I spawn I get insta locked on my missiles. Im starting to spend too much time waiting to respawn while cruise wipes the map of my capitals. 15 seconds is way too long to respawn. 10 seconds max. They do way too much damage while youre sitting their waiting. 

Also the ping button is a pain to use. I was hoping that it would make it easier if I start pinging the cruiser and having my team take out the cruiser.. but I fight with the ping trying to get it to lock onto it. I will be right next to it and either it won't pinch it for attack or it will ping some random tie fighter off in the distance. Then once I DO finally get it to ring it doesn't seem to make any difference on getting my team to help destroy the cruiser. 

This game started out being a BLAST to play. But its this kind of crap that's gonna make me bored with it real quick.

you must not be playing the same game as everyone else... or everyone else game is broken and your game isn't. GTFO

@EvilBlakeSnooki use drift all the time in fleet and dogfight.

I didn't try the regular difficulty personally, if easy mode is like as hard as fighting Darth Vader as a Padawan I can imagine what regular is like. It's bad enough the cap ships and cruisers can target me perfectly I gotta also contend with fighters that can fly fast, turn instant, fire missiles that fly at lightspeed and perfectly evade incoming missiles..... basically everything the game doesn't even allow me to do. I know my own fails when I see them and veerrrrry rarely have I died in the game from my own mess ups, sooo far.

Well, FWIW, on my first try, i lost on normal, and won right after or easy, so i'd say the balance is about right, considering i had no prior experience except dogfights.
