Two crippled BTGs will render the parent unit, a Russian tank brigade, incapable of offensive combat. That’s enough to render the unit combat ineffective.

If Brimstone proves just 90 percent effective (MBDA itself claims 98.7 percent effectiveness in combat) a Brimstone strike could destroy 22 out of 50 tanks and armored fighting vehicles in a Russian battalion tactical group (BTG). Brimstone can be launched towards a defined target area and will then locate and attack any enemy tanks and armored vehicles it finds.

Unlike Hellfire, Brimstone has an even more interesting indirect fire capability. This gives the new Polish tank destroyer the ability to engage enemy tanks at ranges of up to 12 kilometers (or about 7.45 miles). (Just impossible to match old tanks with new tanks, thats it.) - Strictly seprate tanks from WW2 and everything after 1945 - Strict focus on historical accuracy. Like Hellfire, Brimstone uses a millimetric wave radar seeker to locate and identify armor. All 'modern' tanks must be marked as 'modern'/'after WW2' (Everything after 1945) - No matching with WW2 tanks and 'modern' tanks.
