A few squadrons of Alphas would be able to destroy a Star Destroyers gun turrets and such, but that's about it. The target is simply too big. The Alphas were designed to combat large numbers of fighters and mecha, which is why they were given fuckloads of small missiles.

That's why they designed the Beta veritech. When combined with an Alpha. It makes for a small but suprisingly effective bomber, especially when using Anti-Christs. Even then, it'd still take a fair few to do any real damage against a larger ship. The Thundergod's unique in its design, abilities and appearance(Thank Skuld for that).
