When a round of Fleet Battles kicks off, it’s basically a jump ball. Tip #2: Start with a dogfight Image: Motive Studios, Lucasfilm/Electronic Arts Ping designates the target that you’ve got highlighted on your HUD and broadcasts it to everyone else on your team, allowing them to accept that target as their own. Make generous use of Squadrons’ in-game ping feature to call out targets for everyone else. Use a secondary system like a party, Discord, or even a mobile phone to stay in voice communication with your friends. If you’re going in with just a small group of friends, or you’re flying alone with a bunch of randos, it’s probably best just to turn off voice chat completely. How you communicate depends entirely on how many people you’ve got in your party. When the enemy changes up their strategy, be prepared. Every member of your squadron should be feeding back information and observations as needed. But so too will having everyone on your side stay alert. Having more guns firing on a target - focusing your fire at a single point on the map - will go a long way toward pushing the battle in your favor. They should be giving the orders and calling out targets. If you’re lucky enough to be playing in a party of five, then one person should be designated as the squadron leader.

In this Star Wars : Squadrons Fleet Battles guide, we’ve written a detailed tutorial to the complex multiplayer mode’s three main phases, and included our best tips for actually winning a round. That’s because the Squadrons doesn’t do a great job of telling you when you’re going about things the wrong way. Your first few rounds of the five-on-five multiplayer mode will either drag on endlessly or go by in a frustrating blur. By contrast, the tutorial for Fleet Battles barely scratches the surface. The game’s opening few missions slowly build in complexity, ramping up the difficulty nicely for new players. Star Wars: Squadrons’ single-player campaign does a decent job of teaching players how to fly a starfighter.
