Nora would be nearly useless against flying Grimm because her grenades aren't fast enough and would travel in an arc, while Ruby would be quite effective for the opposite reasons, not to mention Ruby can fly as a petal storm.

For comparison, remember how the ship captain fired his ship's cannons against the Sea Dragon, which, despite being pretty big, easily avoided each and every shot even after Blake cut it's wing to slow it down. It was only after literally managing to impale it that they managed to land a shot.

As for Yang, she has never punched any birds out of the sky. In fact, in the Breach, birds floored her. Back in V1E8 she jumped on the Nevermore when it got close, and she never managed to do more than distract it to make it crash into a wall, and back then she had ruins to fall down to, which is different from trying to return to a moving airship.

2) Considering Blake and Sun only ever encountered 1 "dangerous" aquatic Grimm, and successfully defeated it without losing the ship even though it could shoot lightning, pretty sure that RNJR+BWY+SI+OQ+whoever else, would do just fine, especially since I doubt they would attract much negativity.

3) Patch is at the far west of Vale, the city. And by far west, I mean a tiny island away from the coast of Vale. Vale itself isn't that much in the middle of Sanus, exactly.

And it only took RNJR so long because they all just walked, and Jaune kept dropping the map.

4) .......................You do know that there are vehicles capable of trivially carrying more than 6 people at the same time, right? The smallest minivans I've seen in my life could transport 5 people including the driver, not including anyone sitting on the trunk.

Hell, they could just take a damn bus! Why are you acting like cars are the only vehicles in existence?

5) She doesn't need to join them. She could just portal them to him and not accompany them (not at that moment anyway), like how she sent WY to Qrow. 1) Okay, I admit I forgot about the arc of the Grenades and was operating under the assumption that Nora would be in a similar position as Weiss was versus the Lancers: At the back by a door with the Grimm closing in. As for the punching out of the sky thing, I was refering to Yang fighting the Nevermore in that her firing shots looks like she is punching, and aiming at the bird, so punching a bird. I guess out of the sky was incorrect, I should have said in the sky from the ground.

2) The difference is the amount of time spent on the water. Blake assumedly boarded the ship to Menagerie from Sanus, the two not being that far apart in comparison to Anima to Sanus heading east. If the span of water is larger, it takes a longer trip which runs the risk of more encounters, and Blake and Sun only won because Blake clipped its wing and lured it into a rock formation where the captain proceeded to ram it and blow its head off. If there isn't a rock formation it becomes a bit harder for the ship to blow it apart.

3) They only dropped the map twice though, both times on Anima. It still took them awhile to get from Sanus to Anima, unless they also lost a bunch more maps then too.

4) I'm acting like that as its the only land vehicles we've seen in Remnant. In Painting the Town, looking back at screencaps during the highway scene I can only find cars and a few trucks, and some delivery/supply trucks like the one the Shopkeep was driving before crashing into Penny. I don't recall any buses in Remnant. Yes, they may exist, but that's assuming they can even find one. We haven't seen cars since V2, so I wonder if Merry will even bring them back.

5) That is true, but that still requires Raven to want to open a portal for them. Raven only opened one for Yang and Weiss because of her half assed attempt to convince Yang to stay, saying she can get the answers she wants from either herself, or Qrow. She would gain nothing from opening a portal to Taiyang for them, except just getting rid of them.
