I desperately think that TIE fighters need protection. Even if only a little, it would give them more of a fighting chance when in fleet arena. They don't dodge often so it's unique is useless when it can just get destroyed quick. I know in the movie they were a pile of trash but if they are trash in the game that's two less ships to synergise with

They have a high dodge rate to make up for the lack of natural protection.

Only the Imperial Tie Fighter is like that, my FOTF has protection (granted, not alot, but it does hit pretty hard)

Funny. My 3* Tie Fighter hits like a truck and evades often. It's a great addition to my lineup. Perhaps try gearing and levelling your TFP? Mine is 5*, G9 Level 82 (I want to try and factor him into a raid squad). I started gearing and levelling him before ships.

I think they should have at least 1 protection so that Poe can't open with ohko with his unique.

This, or not really 1, but give it a disproportionately low amount of protection because so many other ship skills are based on protection healing so it kind of takes away from so many possible synergies.
