On the contrary, >From Wikipedia *Goliaths were used on all fronts where the Wehrmacht fought, beginning in early 1942. They were used principally by specialized **Panzer* <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer>* and **combat engineer* <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat_engineer>* units. Goliaths were used at Anzio in Italy in April 1944, and against the Polish resistance during the **Warsaw Uprising* <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Uprising>* 1944. A few Goliaths were also seen on the beaches of **Normandy* <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normandy>* during **D-Day* <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normandy_Landings> *, though most were rendered inoperative due to artillery blasts severing their command cables. A small number of Goliaths were also encountered by allied troops in the Maritime Alps following the landings in southern France in August 1944, with at least one being used successfully against a vehicle of the 509th Parachute Infantry Battalion.* About 7,500 of them were built, so they meet the requirement of being in production. All I want to know is what its offensive/defensive rating would be, and how would you represent its way of blowing up tanks. Like, would you have a flexible rod on the front and when you touched a tank its dead?
