Title says it all.

Have I set something wrong, or is this right?

Maybe it depends on difficulty level, but in general, you can only take a hit or two. If its one laser blast, you might survive, if its a double or quad laser blast, you're probably toast. You can use the Palpatine converter tool thing to adjust the durability of the Tie fighters hull if you wish.

Yeah the T/F really doesn't take much to kill. You should survive one hit, but it can easily damage some systems already so basically you do not want to get hit at all. If the Z95 uses a dual laser shot it will pretty much kill you instantly. Very, very low chance of survival there...

When you fly the T/F you really have to use different strategies. It's the same for the T/I though that one takes 4 hits I think. The T/B is a lot more tanky but of course no shields means every hit is damage taken.

Just don't go head-to-head with enemy fighters, they will kill you. Order your wingmen to attack crafts attacking you while trying to kill the fighters that are going for your wingmen.

Pretty accurate to the OG game too!

IIRC there's now an option to increase hull strength up to 400% somewhere in either the configurator or the converter.
