To be honest, it's the kind of plan that I'd expect Marvin the Martian to come up with . If we looked at it from a practicality point of view, the Motorrad Fleet fails in all sorts of ways.

wingdarkness already covered most of my points, but I think that there's also a certain lack of polish to Victory that isn't really present in most of the other Gundam shows. It's as if they were being too unsubtle about hiding a budgetary/production shortfall. This is a likely explanation since this came at a time when Sunrise was in poor financial shape, which lead to Bandai buying them up. I generally don't care that much about the visual quality of a show, so while it's a little unusual for me to notice it in Victory, it doesn't really bother me either.

That's right around when the Japanese bubble burst, so it shouldn't be much of a surprise that a lack of funds in the general economy was reflected by a lack of budget for anime as well.
