Yes, try to buy as good a quality AA/SAM/SPAA as you can afford with ammo resupply units if your playing a game where you suspect you'll be operating in an enhanced air environment such as being the defender or delaying action. Buy ammo resupply units based on the type anti-air systems you have I.E. SPAA type you should purchase supply unit that can keep pace with your SPAA units especially when re-positioning them. Buying ammo re-supply this way will keep your cost down and help avoid the re-supply overload penalty.

I prefer SPAA units because of their movement capabilities the AI (And myself.) will hunt those units down by air and artillery if you don't move them (This applies to "onboard" artillery as well.) I like movement. It seems like as SUHIIR has noted those air units might've been "tweaked" a bit if they're causing that much damage, and also like she says damage them enough/a lot and generally you'll be left alone concerning helos. Jets/Planes tend to keep coming back until the ordnance has been expended or they're shot down.

Don't like MANPADS in general unless I'm stuck with them in a scenario or they are an organic part of an infantry unit I want for others reasons besides the MANPAD. I won't waste my time or points in buying them.

Just some general thoughts I hope will help.
