![]() ![]() ![]() Like the MotoTank, the biggest changes to the Goliath were aesthetic. Except for Charlie Company & the Nuclear Knights, no other gangs had this tank in their inventory (except as a rail-bed defender).Įvery so often, in single-player mode, the player would enter a bonus level where he/she controlled a rail-mounted Goliath and was expected to survive as many waves of enemy tanks as possible. It had the best armor and firepower, but it was also the slowest and carried the least ammunition. The Goliath was among the three tanks available in the first BattleTanx. When all else fails, Goliaths may ram smaller vehicles to inflict crippling damage (or even flatten them in the case of the MotoTank).īecause only sustained abuse is capable of destroying a Goliath, it is popular among Queenlords and powerful female gangs like the Iron Maidens who cannot afford to die in battle. Only superior numbers or hit-and-run tactics can overcome the Goliath. Many can only afford one Goliath for defending their headquarters. Although borrowing railroad makes deployment much more economical than historic super-heavy tank concepts, the Goliath remains prohibitively expensive to most Gangs. The increased stability of rail-mounting Goliath also enables it to fire faster. To alleviate speed concerns, the Goliath may be fixed on rails, enabling it to glide laterally. Only one 210mm shell is required to obliterate a MotoTank or Rattler. "Not being hit" is indeed the preferred technique for surviving a Goliath encounter. Due to the immense weight of each shell, reloading is slow and cumbersome, so it is possible for some tanks to evade Goliath fire. If the Goliath were any smaller or lighter, the recoil from its cannon would be uncontrollable. The gunner sits high within the turret, left of the barrel, affording him (or her) an elevated perspective of the battlefield. The gun's unusual height is necessary for peering over the vehicle's bulky hindquarters during turret rotation. The Goliath's 210mm cannon, mother of all bores, sits slightly offset on a tall but compact turret toward the front of the tank. Only the Rhino tank's forward section offers a competitive armor density. It has unmatched armor and firepower, which make up for it being the slowest and largest battle tank available.Īll areas of the tank, especially its sloped and lengthy glacis, are thickly armored. The Goliath is one of the available tanks in the BattleTanx Series. ![]()
