    I know driving vehicles with wheels sounded like a good idea at the time.
    But now we know those wheels are pretty much useless in the ragged terrain of KAG maps.

    So let's forget about wheels and come up with something better.

    How about, catapults, ballistas, etc... need to be carried around by 2 players?

    You can crate a catapult to move it.
    And I can't begin with the issues of having the server and game physics not to wonk out if you have two people carry the same item... it's more or less the issue of archers being able to grapple movable objects.

    If you are teaming up with someone and actually voice chatting, it is incredibly easy to work together. Can you imagine if 2 people easily worked together to bring a ballista with explosive ammo or a catapult to the front line? can you say OP?

    It's feasible if one person was the "driver" and the other person was the "carrier". The carrier would be slaved to the drivers actions unless he/she exited the vehicle. With that said I think wheels get the job done currently however they could use some tweaking.

    Having two people carry those seems difficult to script. On a side note, I would imagine a more fun way of transporting vehicles would be to add bombers/ballons at a shop and adding some sort of grappling hook under it which you can use to hoist up vehicles and transport them to a better location (or drop them on an enemy's head).

    Buuuut since the bomber can't even be acquired except through commands or on modded servers, less likely for that to occur.

    On a more serious note, the only ones that would need to be carried are the ballista since catapults can already be packed away inside a small portable crate. At best, could suggest making ballista pack up similar to catas but I'm thinking that the devs might have had a reason as to why they haven't allowed ballistas this option to begin with.

    This wouldn't work... If you seen classic people steal your Catas when you are firing.

    What if we could choose to buy two different versions, one that has no wheels and other with wheels, I guess it would solve some issues, to move it you would have to pack it into crate and deploy which also eliminates some other issues.
