Hi Derbius, the difficulty setting scales with the mission/progress through the campaign so this will kind of depend on whether you started the campaign with the tutorial (Dolos Minerva) or with Vanguard/Kir'ko/Dvar 01. The tutorial (Dolow Minerva) always plays on very easy I think, not completely sure, and the first missions have the AI scale as follows:
  • Easy difficulty has Very Easy AI
  • Advanced difficulty has Easy AI
  • Expert difficulty has Normal AI
If you started the campaign on Vanguard/Kir'ko/Dvar 01 and then went on to Vanguard/Kir'ko/Dvar 02 the difficulty should have scaled in the same manner:
  • Easy difficulty has Easy AI
  • Advanced difficulty has Normal AI
  • Expert difficulty has Hard AI
I hope this clarifies a bit how the difficulty works/scales.
