History does say it was a bit of a dud. The Germans hoped that it would be a wonder weapon so trying to make use of its hard attack factors by attacking may mimic what historically happened. The attack will fail due to its low quality factor.
A bit strange that it might be more successful defending against attacks?
Well, yes and no.
If on defense, I suppose it could be viewed as some sort of gigantic claymore.
They did find a few of them on the Normandy beaches. Didn't work because the wires had been cut by either artillery or air bombardment.
What impresses me most about the Goliaths is the operators.
That thing carried 60 kgs of explosives, and only had around 6-700 meters of control-wire......
To knowingly set off that amount of explosives at such a short range, you gotta have balls that clank.
