Default SPAA or SPAG ?

The game engine still likes to buy tons of SPAA and use them as SPAGs .. .

Due to overrated armor and survivability on most SPAAs with some success, I must say.
As long as a M53/59 SPAA (6-wheeled lightly armored APC with 2x30mm AAgun) can take 155mm Offboard Arty hits or a burst of 20mm AP from 300m, there's really few reason to leave them behind.

I have seen this behaviour since the very first Steel Panthers, but it still annoys me to no end !

Is there any posibility to make the AI not move SPAA forward ?
