## Summary

</div>
The Brutix is known as a very high DPS combat battlecruiser. Like many Gallente ships, the Brutix has a lot of structure hitpoints. This makes it favourable to hull tank it for solo PvP or small fleets although it has a bonus to armor repairers. Fits with armor repairers are problematic because you will face difficult decisions due to fitting constraints. In PvE, the Brutix is normally passed over in favor of its sister the Myrmidon.

## Skills

## Tactics

</div>
The Brutix can be either a brawler with blasters or a long-range DPS platform with railguns.

Flying it as a brawler is quite simple: warp and/or burn as close to the enemy as possible, shoot, broadcast for reps when targeted or run local reps if lacking logistics support and flying with an active tank. As a battlecruiser, the Brutix can fit a micro jump drive, which can make it a nasty (though not especially maneuverable) high-DPS MJD tackler, or can allow a brawling fit to plan to kill anything within scram range and then MJD out of trouble.

A railgun Brutix can deal good medium-range DPS for a relatively low price. For large-scale fleets it is somewhat out-competed in this role by the Caldari Ferox, which has an additional range bonus. Lightly-tanked rail Brutixes can work well in smaller mobile gangs, with other lighter ships providing tackle and screening off enemy tacklers.
