Actually, I think most of the scenarios played in FT would not be
particularly likely in the Real World (TM).

Let's face it: It's fairly rare that Naval engagements, Air engagements,
or
what-have-you, are rarely fought to the last man. 

In fact, most of the time, the inferior force will look at the superior
force and decide to try again another day, without a shot being fired.

It's only when there is some overwhelming need to hold/take the
objective
that we get the really vicious, no-holds-barred fights that seem to be a
staple of FT combats.
