Not happy with interceptor results

This has been going on for a while now. I am not at all happy about the results I'm getting from interceptors. In the latest result, I attacked a lone nav bomber with 9 interceptors in 2 waves of 5 and 4. That's a total of 90 attack factors. Result? I destroyed just 8 hitpoints, leaving the nav with a total of 17. It's a pitiful result, and is only the latest in a series of similar results. It seems that now, even flak from ground units is more effective against bombers than direct attacks from interceptors! I'm beginning to ask myself why I should bother building interceptors at all ...

To see it on a different way, you can get more kills if enemy planes block the sky, then a squad of planes that can dodge your hits, the effectiveness system isn't really explained not until the manual come out.

Well, at first I didn't pay much attention to this topic, because I've only fought against 1 person who had more than 5 planes and actually used them, so I don't care about interceptors, especially because I don't put them with bombers because it limits the bombers' reach. Anyhow, when I read that bigger stacka means less effectiveness I was shocked. Why on earth should that happen? It should be the opposite!
"Effective" is probably the wrong word. They are more effective in a bigger stack, but less efficient. That is, the more units you add to a stack, the less each unit adds to the total.

Well, that is still pretty stupid. They should be more efficient.

The past is a foreign country.

I think it is to stop OP stacks of 40 staying in the air for too long.
