Generally speaking in everyone's experience, how many EHFs do you need to overwhelm how many turrets?

In my experience I've figured out that three EHFs together can typically take on most bases and gradually slip enough missiles through to take towers out. However, I encountered a base recently with slightly tougher defenses than I normally encountered, and I needed to use a tank to take out one of the machine guns before I could do any damage.

It looks like it's something like one level 4+ machine gun can take out one missile routinely, so you need at least one more EHF for every machine gun that will be in range of the missile. It's not a perfect ratio, though, so I was hoping someone who has had the unit longer than I have could give me some help.
