Is this how it's always going to be?
I just hit 40, and this is my first Galactic War. I've seen some of the complaining on here about it and hadn't paid it much attention because I thought it only happened to the people high on the food chain. I was dead wrong, and I sure hope it's not going to be like this for good, because if it is, I'm just going to cash in my chips and quit the game while I'm ahead. Impossibility isn't fun. Here is my team and what I faced.
The show-stopper at fight 7 that took out my entire line-up of heroes and ended the war for me. I'm no expert at this game yet, but it seems to me that putting a bunch of level 51 troops against a bunch of level 20+ is just horribly unbalanced and unfair.
And here's what health differences looked like in the fight.
I don't like coming to forums to complain, and I'm not really. I just want to know straight-up if you plan on keeping this business model, because if you do, I will be exiting stage left before I really get into the game.

You're Lv40 and you have bunch of Lv20 characters, that is your problem.
This. I wouldn't expect to beat a team that averages 30 levels higher and several stars higher. Your roster is severely underdeveloped. You need to level your toons with droid/credits and then focus on leveling their stars. Your JC should be 4* by the time you reach level 40.
Ive noticed lately though the highest levels in gw against me have been 65, 5 levels below me
The challenge level being so random is confusing, and I hope CG makes it more consistent. When I was 55 I fought teams that were 40 and 70. It doesnt have to be easier, I just want it to have a smoother difficulty curve than +- 30 levels day to day and even battle to battle.

Make it harder for u. I want mine to be made easier. I don't have enough credits to make enough teams and suicide squads. Do u ever face 5 lvl 70 gear 8 one hit KO teams with FOTP, Rey, Leia? And do u face those teams ten times in a row?
I chose to go up in levels to stay commensurate with my skills, all of my character skills except 1 are max for that toon level, all of their gear is max for the toon level, I go up in level in order to make room for better gear so I don't artificially inflate my level or "rush levels" as I would call it. That's what anyone would always do in any game.
Edit:
And even at that, even if I had maxed myself at 40, an 11 level difference is still ludicrous.
You're doing it wrong. Like I said above, you're severely underdeveloped. You won't win any GW with toons that underdeveloped and you'll quickly find yourself unable to compete at all in arena. You need to find 5-7 toons, max, that you want to focus on and pour all your resources into keeping them leveled at every point (abilities, gear, actual level). Everything else not in that A-Team needs to be ignored (there should be as much overlap of toons being used in both arena and GW as possible to maximize efficiency of resources).
How are you doing in Arena? In your LS/DS missions? GW is really bad, I know. I'm guessing the rest of the picture's not much different.
Any FPS has a dozen weapons/characters. Some are inherently better than others. Same with this game. Concentrate on the better toons and everything will be possible, if not easy. It'll be a long grind of you're not spending cash but it can be done.
And, yes, GW is tough at your levels. Some days will be worse than others but it'll get better. But the team you have, it'll be impossible. Forever and ever.
Everyone told you what the single biggest problem you have is. What you do with that information is up to you.
The thing is, I was enjoying it for the first few matches, it was tough but not impossible, I was placed against a couple teams ~18-28 and it was tough but fair. I don't like rushing the game, then all of the sudden bam I get hit with f'n 51's. Ludicrous
With a properly geared starred and level 40 squad you would have crushed that opponent. There is no damage on that squad and the gear levels are really low.
Best to follow the advice given here in this thread. Level up 5-10 heroes to match your current level and focus on them. Don't spread your resources too thin.
This game absolutely is a "take your time" kind of game for f2p. Reaching level 70 is nothing compared to the rest of the grind.
