Goliaths are reasonably fast, and can overtake most medium tanks. This unit is not meant to survive: it is meant only to destroy.
The box itself is made of thin metal - barely constituting any form of armor. All remaining space is stuffed full of high explosive material. The box contains an engine to drive the treads and electronics to facilitate remote-controlled navigation. The Goliath is little more than a large metal box with a set of treads attached. Construction takes about 5.5 to 6 seconds per Goliath. Each Goliath costs 125 125, and does not consume any of your Population Cap. In the skirmish/multiplayer mode, Goliaths are constructed by a Funkwagen 'Vampire' Halftrack, whereas in the single-player campaign they are built by the Munitions Halftrack. The idea of a unit whose sole purpose is to inflict damage, with virtually zero protection, is very much in line with their modus operandi. In Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts, the Panzer Elite have the ability to construct such a vehicle.
The Goliath Tracked Mine is one of the more insidious applications of this technology: an un-manned "suicide" vehicle carrying nothing but a huge amount of explosives - meant to be driven straight into the enemy before detonating in a large blast. During World War II, German armed forces held a technological advantage in several different fields, and amongst these were robotics and remote-controlled machines.
