The problem is that the BW sometimes lets his target drop after he picked it, for no obvious reason (when the target is at max range). To avoid this, get closer. I have to admit that the BW has a pretty strange dmg mechanic and is not worth it for 5 elite points.
Normally it should do the following: Pick any target you select up, surrounding it with a shield that keeps the target from moving (and shooting?), then dropping it after a period of time to deal knockback and dmg to surrounding enemy units.

Hope I could help

ok thank you, i hope getting closer will fix my problem.
still trying to make an impact with the waggon, but the only thing i like atm is the kind of stunn from its autoattack ...

I maybe misunterstood your post and have to add something. The thing I descriped above is when you select an ENEMY unit. If you want to throw a own unit, it works like the following. You select the skill (Q), then you click on the unit. It now takes some time to lift up the unit. You have to wait till it got lifted, then you can press Q again (+mark a spot on the map) to throw the unit. If you looted scrap with the Battle Waggon, instead of throwing the unit, it throws the scrap, ut you still have to select a unit to do so.
Its a really strange mechanic, and I dont unterstand how something like this can go live. I honestly think its some kind of bug. It should either work like you throw BOTH, the scrap & the unit OR you throw only the scrap, but WITHOUT selecting a unit before. But whatever, this game is full of bugs.

It is a bug.
They showed a video of a scrapped battlewagon throwing a unit and scraps together.

It's really weird that it still has not been hotfixed.
