My theory is that this mission was planned years in advance, which is why RBA are experienced Shifters. The Colossal Titan had one purpose; destroy the wall entrance, the armored titan had one purpose; destroy the gates, and the female titan had one purpose; lure titans to the towns and destroy them quicker. that's why bertolt is less suited for battle then the others. plus, really anyone who can use odm gear can beat him, unless he uses his steam.
