The SS Panzer doctrine has no early AA. You need to place your third truck to call up an Ostwind. Also, there is no ability to set base flack guns to AA mode, so this can be disastrous if an air patrol is called in. And, you have to pick a doctrine early to be able to access troops and features, so this can be a problem. They have the searchlight halftrack instead of flack.

This is true, (and I dont belive any waffen doc has an AA halftrack, though luft can build emplacments.) but then again, the ostwind is very tough for an AA vehicle, and can actually repel heavy assault infantry without getting destroyed in one bazooka hit.
As for waffen in general: don’t pick your doc right away. If you feel the need, call in the light halftrack, then pick the panzer doc. That and your base has 3-4 AA emplacements. If your opponent calls in a plane, it will get shot down. Just retreat your units when you hear the audio cue, and watch the strike miss. (also, not all planes can be shot down. the arado for panzer division and the B-26 for US airborne fly too high.)
This, on top of the fact that if your opponent call is planes before late game, he is a bleeding idiot, or an AI, b/c you lose valuable troops you need to unlock with those command points.

OKW/ Waffen also get a free heavy 37mm Flak Gun on the last truck. Just make sure when you set it up the gun is facing in the likely direction of airstrikes and has a good field of view (not behind trees or houses). Your base 20mm flak do not have AA mode but they will target planes automatically also.
