Keep in mind that Roman isn't a trained pilot and the robots probably aren't meant for that kind of combat. Going by the latest episode, most of the Grimm that attack cities are Beowolves, Ursa, and Boarbatusks, which are on the weaker end of the Grimm scale. I'm sure that his machines could easily take down a pack of them as they are mindless killing monsters.

On the other hand, if Yang didn't have a game-breaking Semblance, I'm sure the fight wouldn't have gone nearly as smoothly. Blake's weapon in pistol form probably wouldn't be able to get past the mech's armor and none of her or Weiss' attacks seemed to do that much. The only time they seem to cause damage is when Ruby's absurdly sharp scythe cuts off something. Grimm wouldn't be nearly that strategic or powerful and if Ironwood is planning on placing one of these a mile apart from each other with those smaller robots assisting, no Grimm or even Hunters would be able to beat them.
