playing the campaign i was attacking, the enemy has long since used tanks and only has inf and ifv but they very much prefer using planes, the moment dawn broke out i counted 12, Twelve planes coming at me, and they kept returning, more and more, i had gepard, roland and manpads against mig21, albatros and mig23, the Roland shoot down one, and that it, gepard was useless and one was even destroyed with bombs, manpad even when plane were flying over them was useless, i had to desist from attacking because after one in game hour AI was still sending me 3/4 planes every few minutes, roland was empty and the last gepard was still useless i very much think AAA needs to buffed a lot, especially Radar SPAA and ai should prefer more to refit the ground unit than buying 12 planes, arty and obstacles because now when he attacks it will be without any proper armor, also emplacement are too much stealthy, i had a leo and two luchs one square from an emplaced gun and they weren't able to see the target, one compromise was to revel the emplacement but not to let the player know if its empty or with enemies inside if infantry

Where's the issue? Why shouldn't it rely on one of the most reliable and effective supporting elements one can use in battle?

You have the same ability as the AI to use air support to its full power then use it, if it bothers you then limit the AI to only ground units. Best approach is to learn from mistakes, overcome the challenges by setting up adequate AA.

whats realistic point of buyng 20 planes and no ground unit? well, very good, i'll wait everytime at night and just rush trough the non existant enemy defences because he just spent all the refit point into planes he won't use at night

It's possible to adjust how many % the sides are allowed to use for air units.
