UPDATE MAY 2013:- Hellstorms were great upto the point where the MGT had a boost. Then they went really crap for a few weeks until Kixeye fixed that and then they went back to normal. However, now stingers, more flak tanks and elite Riflemen and Heavy Gunners have been added to Half the L30s and L40s and to half the Thorium bases making hellstorms ununuseable on these. Not one missile will penetrate these bases making them somewhat limited in their use. A particular sore point here is the Thorium Depots. Yes you can still take half of them but teh chances are that after scouting the map for several hours looking for one, when you eventually find one, it will be the wrong type for sure. The type that Hellstorms cannot penetrate it. Two L3s full of stingers with Watchtower(s) and it is hard to clear this base. There is another L30 which has 8 Power Plants and 4 stronholds very close to the CC which the Hellstorms cannot penetrate. Any Sickle or Thorium depot which has a lot of Flak Tanks and Watch Towers in it is extremely hard for Hellstorms to take. For a Start, the Hellstorms cannot get anywhere near to the Watch Towers without taking damage. One Stinger hit is over an hour in repairs. 4 Hits from a stinger and your Hellstorms are dead. The Watchtowers are defended by Flak Tanks and other anti air units such as EGTs. They have made some of the L30s, L40 Sickles and a lot of Thoriums very hard for just Hellstorm users. MY advice is that still can be usefull, but only providing that they are used with Hellfire Tanks as without Hellfire Tanks, you will not be able to take about Half of the bases that you want to do.
