There's a fanfiction I read recently that addresses some of Zolnir's points (RWBY get wiped out in a team-vs-team practice by JNPR). Another possible issue is that the girls need to learn to act as a team, covering each other's weak spots and vulnerabilities. As things go, they tend to act as if any combat is a series of one-on-one engagements rather than fighting cooperatively.

In that story, Pyrrha teaches Weiss how to use Myterenaster's ranged combat potential more effectively because Weiss prefers to use it up close in a traditional fencing manner.

I've mentioned before that Ruby needs to learn to use the immense long-range attack potential of Crescent Rose's rifle mode. She could have ended the fight at the cargo terminal with one shot at Roman's knees without even announcing her presence first. Unfortunately, she has a 'white knight' complex with the associated impractical codes of ethics (most of which are only important in her own mind). She has yet to learn the Batman lesson of "beat the bad guy first and let the losers fight over the 'good conduct' medal".
