If you go in all alone that's true. But if you ahve 2 or 3 fades covering you, the base will go down quickly.
As an Aliencommander I prefer the setting (in a 6vs6) of 3 fades, two gorges and one lerk. - The fades draw the fire from turrets and kill the marines - the gorges throw bilebombs and heal sometimes - the lerk gasses the area
Keep in mind that the fade can't do anything against structures, so you need the bilebomb.

If I can bile bomb from summit reception and have them role and bounce into heli with sentries covering the corrido, I'll be happy.
