Yeah, they need to buff it up quite a bit to make it actually useful. Things like increased troop carry capacity and HP so that you can use several to deploy your whole troops deeply into your opponent's base and create mayhem.

Otherwise, the game itself lacks the mechanics to make this unit handy. I mean, if troops were allowed to enter buildings trough the roofs so that they can take/destroy them from the inside, and to walk on top of walls and gates to open them, this siege unit would be among the best. Just imagine watching several of these towers approach your fortified city if those mechanics existed, wouldn't it be a fearsome sight?
