I was playing and saved up about 900 SP for a plane. I’m flying out with bombs thinking I’m about to do some CAS, but there are 5 AA guns sitting in the enemy spawn for 70 SP each, and they shot me down—it’s like this every single game. I want them to raise the SP for AA to at least the cost of a plane without secondary weapons, around 500 SP.

Is this rage bait?
Mate, planes are pretty overpowered at almost every tier, and it’s harder to hit stuff with a spaa than a plane. It is also ground rb, so spawning planes should be a luxury. Planes can also engage pretty much every target and are way more useful than spaa which sits around for half the match, so the low so cost incentivises using spaa, which is needed.

there is also the fact that when somebody drops a 2000lb bomb on your Maus before you even get out of the spawn, you probably don’t have many SP left to pull an expensive vehicle.
I understand, but SPAA doesn’t just shoot down planes; it kills tanks too—though that’s not the main point here. When a player finally saves up enough points for a plane, they’re excited, thinking, ‘Time to do some CAS’ but then they fly out and immediately get shot down by a cheap AA. All those points and ordnance are gone. It can take a long time to save up for a plane—mine costs 900 SP—while the SPAA that can destroy tanks, your bombs, and your plane only costs 70–90 SP. It feels pretty unfair.
Only if they suck. Any half decent CAs player will easily be able to avoid spaa. Even tho CAs requires more skill than spaa, it is way more rewarding hence the higher sp cost

Exactly—flying a plane requires skill to dodge missiles or a barrage of shells. With SPAA, you don’t need much brainpower, especially with top-tier AA; you just set up, drive off a bit, and press two buttons—that’s it. Playing as CAS can be very rewarding, but you actually have to know what you’re doing to make it work.

Simple as that
Let me guess, you spawn and fly straight to the battlefield? No wonder you get picked off by the AA.
The support on the ground is strong enough, you’ll experience it, don’t worry.
This is why I love CAS as a ground player. People spend all that SP and then get insta-shot down making it easier for ground forces to control the map, cap points and ultimately win the game.
