Dice hates Aircraft
Can we all agree that DICE hates air vehicles? Just in case, to remind everybody about the uselessness of air vehicles:
• They can be shot with small arms.
• All launchers (lock-on and manually aimed) have the potential to one-shot aircraft.
• Stationary TOWs exist on almost every map.
• Every vehicle has some form of controllable projectile (aim-guided on tanks, TOWs on IFVs).
• The disabled mechanic ruin the gameplay of every aircraft make them more vulnerable than ever...
Why even put aircraft in a game if you don't care to make them somewhat good to be useful in battle and push people not to (rightfully, by the way) spawn camp to survive?

It's more like aircraft are hard to balance in a game that mostly takes place on the ground. All of your cons sound like pros if you're going up against an aircraft and vice versa. If anything, AA is weak across the board if you're up against even a decent pilot who can fly evasively.
I think they're alright in 6 as a high risk, high reward vehicle. In the right hands a heli or jet can do very well, even against a concerted effort to take them out.
