The Droideka is a "wheeled" vehicle sort of speak while rolling in ball mode.
If animations can be made to "roll" a Droideka then maybe they could be made to turn a wheel.

That works for a droideka because it's just one wheel. Even if they animated the wheels to turn, the Juggernaught will still behave like a hover vehicle, since there is no way to simulate suspension in this game.

Also, it is a huge amount of effort to animate.

I would've liked to have seen the full animation because getting it to do turns and stuff would be a lot of work.

Incorrect. The Hailfire has suspension. What can't be simulated is wheels actually rolling. The part of the rubber that hits the road would move, but not the side of the tires.

It's just way to huge to work as a vehicle fellas. Face the reality.

The hailfire has suspension? As in, the mesh actually deforms to the terrain? I always thought that it just kind of rocked back and forth rigidly.

Omg. Jeeze. I know it'd be pretty huge, but couldn't we classify it as an AT-AT? It is it's precursor after all. It'd probably be about the size of that. Ok. Let's compare how big the two are. ...... oook.

And it'd also go pretty slow, cause you don't want it going fast cause you may cause massive tk-age. Make it go the speed of the AT-AT and it should be fine as well. Yea, I admit it'd take alot of effort and coding and stuff, but hey. We could all just give it a try. :S

It's not even that, it's that the guns are so high up and blocked by the hull itself that you can't look down at the ground.

The juggernaut isn't the precusor of the AT-AT...Anyway, I think we should all drop this and accept the fact that it works better as a prop rather than a controllable vehicle.
