I have never lost a GAC round, not one single GAC round, because of my ships. I am stronger in fleet than in squad, and have no trouble destroying their 2 defensive fleets in one shot each, while my defenses can often lose in one shot each, but hold a remarkable amount of the time - I'd say about 40%-ish of the time that they open the fleet territory I get at least one hold one at least one fleet. I haven't keep data, so you'll have to decide whether you trust my estimate, but the point is that I don't need BH ships to destroy enemy ships or to get holds against enemy attacks.
