I also have this problem (not getting assists from the droid that replaces the original one). No 70% change, just 0% change.
Lots of players in my discords and my guild also have this.
I reported this to support also, but just got a "do the updates" reply.
I really hope this will be fixed

As per every single reply here and the original ticket too:
There is no error with the vulture droids that are summoned by Malevolance.
There is error with only one vulture droid: the one which we get after the player's Vulture droid ship dies (read its Unique ability of you still don't understand it).

It's marked fixed as of 22 March: https://trello.com/c/ErmGwkTG/222-player-vulture-droid-does-not-always-assist-another-separatist-all.... Either it's not fixed or the fix wasn't deployed because I got no assists in fleet battles today after the update.

Trello board updates are scheduled on a Friday. Please check the board in 24 hours again.

This is still happening, not solved. The issue is not with the Malevolence-summoned Vultures. The issue is with the original player-deployed Vulture. It assists 100% of the time, as normal. When it dies, its replacement (2nd life) variant does not assist when its colleagues are attacking targets with buzz droids on them. It does assist when mass-assist moves are made, such as Spy's special, but the 70% assist he's supposed to have vs buzz droided targets literally NEVER happens.

+1 to the "not solved" pile
The vulture droid that summons to replace the player vulture droid from it's Rank 8 ability for Swarming Terror does not assist at all when an ally attacks an enemy with buzz droids through it's own Swarming Terror ability, should be 70%.
It does still assist when called to assist by abilities used by other ships (such as Surprise Shot)
