This has been talked about plenty of times and still hasn’t been addressed. With the state of the game, adding more planes into the game brings more CAS options that make it incredibly hard to counter. Playing SPAA is a difficult task and when you factor in the enemy team having the ability to spawn in up to 4 planes at once, and having 2 SPAA at any BR is a incredibly difficult jobs. I recently started playing ground again and forgot how bad CAS was and the plane situation was. Aircraft gets the ability to spawn air and full payload too which is VERY excessive. If anything it should be changed to runway. But even then removed completely. This is due to the very big gap between how both air and ground modes function. Air mode you only use planes. And planes full stop. Where as in Ground you can use Planes, Drones, Recon Drones and helicopters. Looking at how squadron battles function its obvious that planes are a major key to winning majority of the games that some squadrons partake as they have to only deal with planes then ground is easy kills. No amount of SPAA will stop 8 planes from being spawned by a team in Ground RB either.
My main suggestion is remove or make a tank only mode.
A mixed match would be a fine addition aslong as I wont have to deal with constant threats of planes strafing my track, bombing me and disabling my gun and more. I play this game for the tanks. Not to get hit by CAS or have to spawn a plane because the rest of my team decides not to do it.

The search bar is your best friend, you just havent met them yet
Spaa is ground vehicle. The good ol’ go around shot tanks and finish the match. Shit would be boring.
It hasnt been addressed because Gaijin dont want to address it or consider it an issue.
Its a feature and integral part of the gameplay in their eyes, and honestly the eyes of many players as well, including me. Even though you and many others may disagree.
Its here to stay and there are plenty of other threads debating it on this forum.

I referenced that other people have suggested it, people spoke aboout how posts were being taken down and there are people creating “tutorials” to avoid the things I am talking about but the solutions they suggest are the problems I have mentioned. Use a plane to kill a plane isn’t the solution. And the way I see it, the solution they provided is more or less of someone who has yet to experience alot of the more painful CAS like the F-16Cs that orbit and shoot from orbit unless you have a pantsir or what not.
I wish for a seperate mode where planes aren’t mandatory. But ground only and I really don’t want to seek out other games to get my fix for tanks
Thats the annoying part of it, I wish gaijin would atleast create a solution for those who are tankers to make the game a little more fun for those who like tanks. Other than creating a more toxic divide between those who are tankers and those who are pilots as the more additions to the game are just more ways to make playing ground more annoying. I like to play jets and tanks. and props. But combining it into a single mode leads to major problems. Looking back you can see it when they upped the SP cost for planes. And also changed how the BRs for planes are different in ground battles compared to air and more
Same with navle and the friging missle boats…
Man can’t wait to see the 4.0 american AA acting like a light tank and tank destroyer hybrid frfr.
All in all AA is sad as they get stomped on
