Maybe each pilot only given three air to air missiles so he doesn't take more than his fair share? Kind of like game tags...

I'm kidding obviously. In real combat the notion of "fair" is stupid. A "fair fight" means a fair chance of losing and when it is life or death - I would want and I want our military personnel to have every "unfair" advantage we can create for them...

I am reminded of the scene in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” when Harvey Logan (Richard Kiel) challenges Butch for gang leadership via a knife fight. Paul Newman waves his hands and approaches Logan saying, “Hold on, hold on. This fight doesn’t start until Harvey and me agree on the rules.”

“Rules?? In a knife fight?!” yells Logan.

At which point Butch is close enough to successfully kick Harvey in the groin and win the knife fight.
