There were 60 players last night, I and another player escorted a flight of Wellingtons to and from the target without a single attack.
It seems that a lot of players on both sides prefer and enjoy the low level sorties which is why I think Trumps suggestion could help though my gut feeling is that it probably won't (it takes a while to get to around 20K) and not a lot happens player v player. When you do get the odd escort, the challenge of confronting any escort and downing the bombers is far more satisfying and more in the spirit of the BoB (for myself and a few others anyway). Which is OK...each to their own!

I don't particularly enjoy the stuff that happens near Hawkinge, but lately I've been just flying cover over that airfield to help protect pilots trying to get off the ground. I usually take off from Manston and climb to about 10,000 before I get to Hawkinge.
