Honestly, I can't think of any way to make it closer to reality within the game... one hell of a job, Jarbo! Even when we did finally wax Moto, most of us were rtb for fuel... I personally heard the intel and knew I wouldn't make it back to the cv, so I stuck around (I was the Kamikaze hellcat, lol), hoping for the shot... a squaddie got it, and I was just as happy! Great fun, and even personal too, we knew the people we were fighting! Got off to a rough start, but I see a future with that! , well done by all!
Edit: I especially liked the killshooter off and friendly collisions counted... I actually got a bit nervous flying in close formation, heh! Just as it should be.... and btw, for the record, my closest proximity to a friendly there was 18 feet, no joke (thanks Terror, you had me crappin!)
