That's cause the winner is the one with the most kills, not the least deaths. If there's 3 planes, 2 of them good dogfighters and 1 built for speed instead, the 3rd plane has to attack, extend to distance, climb, turn and attack again, which eats up valuable time while the two slower planes are racking up kills against each other right above the ground, and respawning in the same exact area.
I don't think it's much of a simulation when the i-153 is getting the most points. How many pilots were really so gung-ho about jumping into tight furballs with I-153's? All they had to do was take their time. Like in the 1st Stalingrad mission where you have I-16 and can't catch the 109's till they run to the edge of the map and turn around and climb to 3,000m
