Shooting down enemy plane is one of the important element to keep us in winning side, but the reward of shooting down a plane is so low that 2-3 plane kill reward don’t even anywhy near 1 ground kill reward. This had made those SPAA especially those can only shoot IR missile near impossible to grind

Plane reward no need to increase anymore?

I mean I do have a friend who earns more SL and RP from SPAA than Turms-T so, not that it can’t be done, like Strela in arcade is like free 5k RP.
just depends, and also I think it is closer to ground kills than 1/3, more like 2/3.
One thing I feel might be important to inspect:
Are you looking at plane destroyed or “Severe Damage” entries?
Severe damage is where majority of your reward lies.
Like, killing a tank is around 2000 SL right?
According to this, killing that sk60B which is way over my bosvark’s BR was worthless.
Now, let’s look at severe damage:
Now it adds up to the damage I’d get destroying a tank with my bosvark (or a tank with similar SL multipliers)!
Now, this is not to say the rewards are good. Ground needs better rewards in general, but I feel this mechanic throws a lot of players off if they don’t also fly planes in air-only modes.
Looking at the coefficients…
They seem to line-up for hits:
Plane kills are actually rewarded better than ground kills when done in ground RB!
source: Report on how scores, SL, and RP rewards are calculated
(alas this report was made before severe damage, so for severe damage take 0.8 of the coefficient for achieving severe damage and add the remaining 0.2 for when they crash. Or give 0.4 to the guy who finished them off (shot off their tail, killed their pilot).

AFAIK reward for actions with SPAA are higher (25%?) than with other vehicles. I often notice I get a nuke with far fewer kills playing SPAA than, say, a medium tank.
The problem is that destroying planes (be it with SPAA, tank or plane) is hilariously small. What needs to happen is increase rewards for destorying planes with ANY vehicle.
I often cringe when I get 5 tank kills / 6 plane kills having one death when playin CAP and end up in the middle of the scoreboard. While other players with 4 tank kills and 5 deaths have a higher score than me. It’s ridiculous.
In the match you get less score for Aircraft kills than you do for ground regardless of what vehicle you’re in. Now what happens behind the scenes for actual rp and sl rewards who knows.
I think they did the reduction because of how many people tend to just crash straight into the ground when trying to bomb anything giving a free kill to any tank that tags it with an mg before it happens.
Turms-T always have target to shoot, the only reason that preventing him getting high rewards is player skill, but SPAA you can’t really do a thing if there didn’t have any plane except for scouting
It really does last game shot down 4 jets that if left uncontested would have wiped out most of my team.
Barely enough SP to spawn another tank. Yet you can destroy a tank and spawn a fully loaded CAS jet.
Needs reworked especially now with the new power house CAS options
