As Nep-Nep said, HQ doesn't affect normal maps, also difficulty changes are in the range from 40 to 80, so don't worry about that.

Be sure that all your ships are remodeled and modernized. Having a ship at kai already gives a big boost to its stats and if your problem is taking too much damage then you should especially modernize your ships for armor.

Maybe leveling them a bit more than just 20 may also help since evasion increases with level... and adding some turbines if you have. 1-5 is a good place (it's fast and cheap) to level DDs and CLs.
