[Towertalk] limitations of stacking

Is there a theoretical reason why the gain resulting from stacking two HF
yagis over real ground is limited to 3 dB?  I have a model of two C-3Es
that shows 3.5 dB increase over a single C-3E in the top position.  I'm
trying to figure out if this is a modeling anomaly of some sort...
