Have you noticed that it's huge numbers ranging from 20 to 30 pilots, upto 10,000ft are winning the day.
NOE raids I flew in, consisted of around 10 guys at 600ft, plus around 4 fighters that only zoom climbed at 10 miles from target. NOE's were harder to detect but easier to break up than this new super horde i'm seeing.
Now, even if you do get up in the air, one defender is generally outnumbered close to 5 to 1. It's much easier now to find a fight with the huge dar, but survivability has drastically reduced. I compared it on 200 last night to Russian WWII tactics, except they difference is they get to fly much better and much more effective aircraft.
I don't think this super hording was the intention of the initial dar change but it's what we've got and what we all have to deal with. The only problem is rustling up enough defenders that are actually willing to take on the horde; Half the Rook Airforce seem to be sat in the NAAFI drinking tea and playing cards while bases fall around them

But to the hording "v-tards" (not my name for ya

,) Your effective and efficient in your methods,
