Goliath

The Goliath Heavy Tank is the Main Battle Tank (MBT) of the Zanzibar Land tactical force army's Heavy Tank Division. 50 are ready at any time.

The Goliath Heavy Tank was developed under a joint effort by Chrystler, General Water, and Omni Corporation for the U.S. Army in the early '90s.

Despite it's size, it is equipped with a 2000hp gas engine and maintains high maneuverability even when reaching it's top speed of 75 km/h.

The Form Architecture planning schematics utilized the best aspects of the Abrams M1 Tank, the T-72, the T80, the Leopard2, the Japanese Defense Forces Type 99 Battle Tank, and other Battle Tanks.

The main guns are also capable of firing 30 rounds per minute via an auto-reload and supply system installed on the tank. Also, due to it utilizing thermal images, the bend of the barrel can be adjusted to correct artillery.

It was considered by sources to be the tank of the future, even by the standards of todays tanks.

Trivia

 * a Goliath Tank was originally going to be fought as a boss (presumably in the Garage area of the game). It was cut just prior to the initial release of Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake for the MSX2 system. However, it still remains as part of the background of the garage area.
