In a dire situation where a defensive emplacement is under attack by heavy armor, it would be useful to have one or two on station, as it can easily destroy a tank's main gun or engine. The only thing you can do to this unit is to detonate it - an expendable unit with no manpower to lose. This is the Wehrmacht's only early game means of demolishing bridges.It does roughly 50% damage on a Sherman.It will kill retreating Snipers, if you can get it close enough.Against players who know this it can be used as a mobile 'Propaganda War' making retreat as soon as it gets near The Goliath is not very effective if detonated on retreating squads.Because they don't add to the population cap, a commander can theoretically have an opponent swarmed with these bombs. But for a commander who has enough munitions and loves to terrorize their opponents with a swarm of these, they are worth the effort to see his or her opponents getting blasted away. Costing at 125 munitions per unit, they can be a hefty unit to have, especially if it gets destroyed before being detonated to the intended targets. They have their own special production structure - Bunker for the Wehrmacht, and the Munitions Halftrack (Campaign) or the Funkwagen 'Vampire' Halftrack (Skirmish/Multiplayer) for the Panzer Elite.

On rare occasion, they can upgrade in offense or defense abilities, similar to Panzer Elite units. They are the fastest when run in a straight line, and would be too late for anyone unless they are destroyed. Because of their extremely diminutive size and low profile, they can be easily missed by Anti-tank fire and slow ordnance such as mortar fire and artillery shells. As such, they are high-priority targets and must be destroyed or else, suffer heavy casualties done by a single Goliath. These can turn the tide against the Allies if used to ambush or in conjunction with other German forces. Armed with a small, yet powerful 60-kilogram charge, one of these is enough to destroy an M4 Sherman or heavily damage its hull, kill a few dozen soldiers in a tight formation or demolish a vital installation. This small bomb is capable of terrorizing Allied forces.
