The Siege Engine (this is the Horde form, the Alliance form is here) is the heaviest form of siege vehicle in Wintergrasp. It is quite slow moving and very slow turning and players running on foot can get infront of it pretty easily. Though what it lacks in speed it makes up for in hitpoints, having a massive 85k of them

You need the First Lieutenant buff to aquire one from a seige workshop, but there are no requirements needed to hop into one that was already made.

It can carry up to 4 players: 1 Driver, 1 Turreter and 2 Passengers.

-The Driver controls the movements and the battering ram (this ram is more powerful than that on the Demolisher, doing 2000 Siege damage)

-The Turreter uses a 360 degree turret mounted on its top. Deals 1500 Siege damage. The turret is also good for self-defense since it's almost non-existent minimum range allows you to even fire at enemies who are running along attacking the vehicle from beneath

-The 2 Passengers can be carried along inside the Siege Engine's hold, though they cannot perform any actions (the passenger slots are more just so it can act as an armored transport, allowing troops to be carried into battle without worrying about turret fire and AoEs). The only real use this is is when doing suicide runs at a well-guarded keep door

Note that the Turret is infact considered a different unit mounted ontop of the Siege Engine and can be hit seperately. Unless targetted specifically the turret is usually only damaged about 20k before the Siege Engine dies, and upon Siege Engine death the turret will also be destroyed.
~~Warning: If the Turret falls off DO NOT get into the turret slot again, you will not be protected by the Siege Engine and will take full damage.~~ (edit: This is no longer really a problem since the turret now has ridiculously high HP, meaning that anyone who would attack the turret seperately is an idiot :P)

I STRONGLY suggest that you not even attempt to attack the enemy without a Turreter, you will be a big, slow moving target that can only hit back if it can spends the 3 seconds of turning to use the battering-ram.

In conclusion the Siege Engine is very good for attacking buildings, just make sure you have a few allies with you because a lone Siege Engine isn't very capable of mounting a useful siege.

The seige engine is NOT recommended to defend the keep itself. On Defense, it is really only useful for ramming attacking seige engines or tightly grouped attackers, or going after the southern towers, and is otherwise really just a mobile gun emplacement.
