BF2S Forums Goliath requires teamwork to destroy? Yeah, right.

Yeah, the would work, but an alert driver/crew could easily A. Kill you before you get a chance, or B. completly avoid you.  I still prefer sneaking upon it with the Pilum, after two chunks of it are gone they start having infantry walk around it to make sure I dont get a third shot it

The loud warning from the game   Usually tips me off well before,or at least lets me bail.  Well I'll make the exception, you might be able to get me, 95% of people with motion mines jump in front of you thinking you wont see them so...  Also, i try to avoid corners, as they are notorious death traps

I've soloed a Goliath, it's not as tough if you know what to do and know how to take it down.
The vehicle is basically a giant APC with 7 repair generators, two rear machine guns, two front flak cannons, and a shotgun/mine deploying turret.

If you take out 5 panels it will die from a EMP/Orbital Strike if place correctly.

Each panel repairs 1 point a second.  Seven Panels = Seven Points a second.
If it's near a box while repairing it will get the extra repair from the box too on top of that.

If you knock down 5 panels to where it's 2 points a second for repair it can not repair fast enough for a directly placed mixed orbital and EMP strike.

Basically if you can deal the damage faster than the generators can repair then you can kill it.
The more panels that are destroyed the better your chances are of killing it.  If all the panels are destroyed then it's mortal just like a regular vehicle.

God--it seems like these new motion mine baits are the end-all, be-all anti vehicle weapon, when used properly.

Of course, thats assuming I'll let a bastard surprise me that much--I know the best places to place mines and avoid them like the plague if I can.  Plus, if I'm fifty or more meters away, that grenade wouldn't get close enough anyways.
