Well, that's simply because we don't face any actual danger. Just finished watching BBC's first light and it was evident there as well (btw, is it out on DVD in the UK yet? got a relative on post-grad studies there that could get it for me).
On Wellum's first operational sortie, Brian Kingome who was the formation leader can be heard telling them on the radio "right boys, off we go, one good, fast pass and out of here".
I think this would be a good reason to completely do away with scores in multiplayer, or to totally revamp the scoring system to severely punish reckless behaviour when flying at high difficulty settings, because the current system in IL2 encourages people to stick around against silly odds a bit too much.
