so its basically the hellfire longbow but the UK manufactured. I think when we get the fire and forget hellfires UK should get these for their line up.

Pretty sure brimstones are a lot more capable than hellfire-Ls
Both will suck in WT, naturally.
Brimstones 1s have double the range of Hellfire Longbows
Brimstone 2s have 6x the range of Hellfire Longbows
Brimstones have more advance targetting systems and will coordinate their attacks with each other meaning they hit a target each.

Well yea the defiantly improved on them. I think the US test fired the brimstone for evaluation. They are very capable ATGM’s . Are they faster than the Hellfires? or just better range and target acquisition.
I have no idea, I guess it would vary on the launcher. Something like the Tornado Gr4 doing Mach 1 probably quite a bit higher than a hovering Apache firing Hellfires.
Edit:
Brimstone: ~450 m/s (~ Mach 1.3)
Hellfire: Mach 1.3 (995 mph; 1,601 km/h)
So about the same I assume when launched from the same kind of platform

I can see Gaijin adding a laser guided one, I’m not too sure about one with active radar guidance, same reason they denied the AGM-114L. Would be cool though. +1.
-1 until APS is on majority of top tier ground vehicles
Doesn’t matter. They’re ballistic missiles. Extremely ineffective. Also, there is no reason they would add kinzhals even if brimstones were added.
And i absolutely would not mind this. However there is 0 indication that gaijin is going to add kinzhal because they added a brimstone. That is complete non sense.
I dont care if you have 1 missile to shoot at specific point it would often be useless
Are we talking about the Hypersonic weapon? lol
Yup. Completely irrelevant to this game.
Can’t even carry many of them
If we got brimstone I’d expect something more along the lines of Hermes-A, not a hypersonic ballistic missile
My bad, for some reason i thought brimstone was the stormshadow missile. Its 8 am, my bad. Yeah sure add brimstone in the future with similar counterparts +1.
Thats why i said kinzhal and stuff, cuz it would be technically in the same category as stormshadow

I was gunna say. Was confused for moment, because sure, you can have a cruise missile if you want, not gunna be any use in GRB or be anywhere near as effective as Brimstones.
Though we really need a Cruise missile suggestion thread as well. Storm Shadows would be fun in ASB

I think cruise missiles could be very useful, with drone spotting.
Let’s say they add some sort of coordinate system to the game, or a drone marks a spot. You say I agree and choose this coordinate (or preset locations like A/B/C point), then you just fire.
And after 2 seconds the tank moves away
GPS guided weapons would be fun.
But I’ve always wanted a system where things like drones (at least in your squad) could create CCRP target points that you could then attack with any other weapon system. It could include GPS coordinates
But you wouldn’t fire directly at tank, that’s the point.
So you would only shoot at A/B/C?
Think about this from a ground perspective. People just lob gps guided weapons and never enter SPAA range
