Simple example.
You have one wave coming with 5 fleets. This require 7 fleets to cover.
You require the same amount of fleets regardless of tag limit, just your pool of def fleets is smaller. And yes the random incs might be proportionally smaller, but any kind of targetting hurts you harder when tag is smaller, simply because you have less potentional def fleets.
For sake of example, lets say now tag limit is reduced to 30.
Ultores would then have to cut tag to half, but its not unlikely those two 30 member tags would continue to cooperate? Maybe even ingame nap and be able to defend eachother, but atleast attack together.
If they now wish to target alliance X, they can do so with the same force as always - but alliance X will now have 50% less (potentional) allydef..
Ofcourse, alliance X might be in same situation and have split its previous tag into two cooperating tags, but that will not benefit them so much in defence.
