AA ammunition and aircraft health

Throughout battlefield aircraft have always had to worry about AA and infantry using manpads such as the IGLAs and the Stingers while also needing to worry about other aircraft in the air at the same time, currently the aircraft health pool is far too small and needs to be enlarged to give them more of a fighting chance, there has been plenty of footage out already showcasing how easily it is to kill an aircraft, looking back at prior battlefield games such as 5, 1, 3, and 4 you can easily see how sitting behind an enemy aircraft while shooting at them with guns took a good amount of skill and time to be able to kill them and also looking at AA shooting at aircraft you can easily see that it took good aiming and time to kill aircraft, currently in the demo for battlefield 6 current AA and aircraft take mere seconds to destroy and aircraft which doesn't fit right with health balancing and as seen in prior battlefields the slightly larger health pool works out better with needing skill to stay alive and also be able to dogfight enemy aircraft. In turn with aircraft health needing to be buffed, currently the mobile AA (Gepard) only get 12 bullets with infinite reloads. These vehicles carry around 400 round belts in them to be able to fire at aircraft in real life, it would be better to give them around 200-400 rounds of ammo with 3-4 reloads before having to return a vehicle rearming station to get more ammo which gives them more time to shoot at aircraft while making them aware that they can run out of ammo. Look at battlefield V, 3, and 4 when it comes to how AA deals with aircraft and ammo reserves, obviously with 3 and 4 they get infinite ammo and don't need to worry about rearming but the amount you can fire off before having overheating issues should be noted.

I'm a big fan of flying helicopters while also defending against them and jets with AA and have always liked the dynamic between aircraft and AA. They should be balanced in a way where it is fair for both sides to a degree where a good player in either vehicle should be able to deal with the other but currently AA can take down aircraft with such ease its not very balanced.
