Your reply is missing a "Reply" button.

Writers are humans limited by their mediums. As such certain compromises must be made.

An example of this is in "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King". Peter Jackson wanted to have Aragorn fight (a magical manifestation of) Sauron at the battle of the Black Gate. Jackson changed this at the last minute and swapped a troll in. Why? Frodo and Sam were inside Mount Doom getting ready to throw the ring in. The fight was going to be a distraction from the climax of the story.

Same applies here. The writers wanted Yang confronting Raven to be the emotional climax. You would have a point if Hazel, Mercury and Emerald died off screen. But they lived to fight another day.

"So he's too clever he's an idiot. You suspect your neighbor to be an ISIL agent. You: 1) Call the police; 2) Accept his invitation to meet him in dark basement of his house, but ask your trusted friends for backup; 3) Just go with him to basement without plan B; I don't need over9000 reincarnations to make an adequate decisi"

Your cognitive dissonance is noted. Leonardo is a trusted headmaster and a member of the ruling council. You will need evidence before anyone else will act.

"So, Oscar revealed himself to be Ozpin, didn't he?"

The way you described it, Ozpin walked up to Hazel and yelled "I'M OZPIN!" That wasn't the case though. Had Oscar kept Leonardo atop the staircase Hazel wouldn't have known.

"But Tyrain blocked Nora's charge with a smile, whereas Hazel was knocked on the floor by Blake. Tyrian alone was able to destroy all JNPR, whereas there were at least 4 enemy fighters of the same level in Haven plus skilled Vernal, Mercury and Emerald... And Good Guys won, somehow... This is the main reason for all my anger"

Tyrian also moves a lot faster. Hazel takes the beating until his opponents are exhausted, then he kills them. The strategies are different because the characters are different. Cinder, Raven and Vernal cancel each other out. A fight between two maidens would draw attention. The fight in the vault shook the building. They could possibly have leveled the school. Which would get a lot of peoples attention. And as you pointed out, Raven's plan to steal the relic depended upon chaos to escape. How would she escape if the people they were fighting were dead? If the fight went too badly for Qrow and his side, Raven would have to step in and betray Cinders side. Or are you implying that Raven and Vernal could take on Cinder, Hazel, Mercury and Emerald? RWY and JNR have been training so could probably hold their own against Mercury and Emerald. Not win but hold out. Leonardo doesn't want to be there and is a coward. It has probably been a long time since he fought at full speed. Hazel probably ranks between Mercury and Qrow skillwise. Blake also took him by surprise since he doesn't have eyes in the back of his head.

"All what you spelled is not a motivation. These are facts and basic description of characters, which doesn't explain neither WHY are they act like it was shown, nor WHY did villains become evil."

You claimed Hazel's motivation is stuipid. I say it makes sense from a thematic view. There appears to be a symmetry between the two teams. And Hazel does have a point that huntsmen start as child soldiers. He could be attempting to stop a system he sees as cruel.

"f any of your 3 points is true, then Qrow and Oz are complete incompetent idiots. So, there WERE available huntsman, but these two didn't find them despite calling the police was enough. If it were the thing, everyone who has some more intelligence then stone or tree (or main chars) should run away from them as far as possible."

Those Organizations are probably stretched thin due to Grimm attacks intensifying. And a bandit camp may not be high up on the list of priorities. The other problem is what happens if those groups witness the maidens power? There will be a bunch of questions that they would demand answers for. Or alternatively, the legend of the maiden's powers begin again, rendering all of Ozpin's work undone.

"Yep. They laughed at me after my parents died => now I'll kill my fiend's family. It's obvious, how could I miss that? Are you seriously think that this implementation may justify her actions? De-facto, Blake and Ilia both broke the law. They both deserve punishment. The difference is in details. Blake WAS punished - by herself first, then by Adam. She tried to redeem herself. Ilia is a simple traitor for my eyes. She has no principles to follow and switches sides in 5 minutes. And c'mon - she TRIED TO KILL PEOPLE ON-SCREEN! Personaly I think that it's a bit higher crime than train sabotage, but she was forgiven immediately after. If it is the case, why shold't we forgive Adam Taurus? Maybe he really good inside too..."

That character short took place at least a year before volume 1. Ilia was brainwashed. She had no doubts because everyone around her rationalized it as "necessary". Blake said it was wrong and there was a better way. Ilia started to have doubts and it all culminated at the Belladonna house. Blake was not punished by any formal legal authority. She participated in years of White Fang raids that Atlas and Vale would want information on. Menangerie is different because Ghira appears to be the highest authority. Punishing Ilia while not punishing Blake would be hypocritical. Adam exudes malevolence. Blake describes Adam as the embodiment of "spite." She also described his descent. ("First they were accidents, then it was self defense...") He's probably not coming back.

"What was new in her active plan? She wanted to grab relic under cover of chaos and fade away, but the tribe was ordered to move before. The conditions seem to be equal."

The proximity of Salems forces was the problem. Cinder, Mercury, Emerald and Watts all visited the camp. If Raven stole the relic they would have a rough idea of where to look. Increased Grimm activity in the area would cause gunshots which would reveal the location. The raid on Haven would provide an opportunity to kill Cinder, Mercury and Emerald. By the time Watts came back, the trail would be cold.
