Maybe all their designers were a little too busy with Gen:lock?

Probably. And again, I doubt military tactics are at the forefront of writers in general. I can’t tell you how many times I found a strategy to be cinematically brilliant but strategically dumb. This applies in story as well. Team RWBY, JNR, Qrow and Maria are versed in being one person armies and small unit tactics playing off superhuman abilities, not military strategem. Of them, Jaune is the most capable of developing proper tactics, but that only works if he has the knowledge or deduction for it.
