BattleTech Vehicle Technical Readout
VALIDATED
Type/Model: Goliath Mk1
Tech: Inner Sphere / 3060
Config: Tracked Vehicle
Rules: Level 2, Standard design
Mass: 80 tons
Power Plant: 320 Nissan Fusion
Cruise Speed: 43.2 km/h
Maximum Speed: 64.8 km/h
Armor Type: Leopard V Ferro-Fibrous
Armament:
1 Di-Tron Armory PPC
2 Devastator Series-07 LRM 10s
Manufacturer: Ferrous Metals Combine
Location: Proserpina
Communications System: KDM Molrola 500
Targeting & Tracking System: DLK Type Phased Array Sensor System
==Overview:==
Needing to meet a deadline for a new assault tank for the Combine, and not having anything better to submit, the lead engineer at Ferrous Metals Combine, sat down started looking through files of older combat machines, coming across the old but still in use Goliath mech, an idea came to him...
The mech looked like a tank with legs, so why not remove the legs...
With this brush of insperation he and his staff rushed to begin drawing up plans to get this sumbitted in time.
The was born the Goliath tank.
==Capabilities:==
The turret mounted PPC and twin LRM 10 racks are impressive and give the Goliath a decent amount of fire power, that can kill most light mechs and vehicles.
It's armor is enough to keep the Goliath in the fight and offers the crew some hope of comming home in one piece.
The use of the KDM communication system allows the tank to have state of the art commo at off the shelf prices. The DLK Type Phased Array Sensor System allows the tank to get a faster fix on it's target thus insuring first round hit all the time.
==Battle History:==
All 5 of the prototypes have seen limited combat during the recent attacks on Proserpina.
==Deployment==
Not yet in full scale production, several of the test prototypes are stationed on Proserpina to protect the Ferrous Metals Combine plant and some of it's mining complexes from attack.

interesting. its a, im gonna yell at ya. untill you read the fluff. a tank to replace the goliath mech. that alone makes it half decent. n excuses, by a very slim portion, the use of a fusion engine.

Nice try. The armament seems light for something that size, and there is the minimum range issue for the weapons. I'd suggest that one of the LRM launchers be switched for SRM or MRM racks.

| That is fast for such a big tank. But the cost is all wrong. The range is good since tanks can loose movement so easily. I just can not see the DCMS buying a bunch of them. Make it an ICE and see what you can do.

Going with an ICE I would have to pay extra tonage for the heat sinks thus the speed would be reduced and you nothing more then an average 80 ton tank.
And this is Battletech, at the prices some of the stuff come in at, I wouldn't think any military would buy them, but then again look at what our own military buys.
