I get the feeling it mostly worked because Ryou was only piloting a Glasgow and wasn't expecting Akito to be quite so bold, which gave him too much of an opening, but...who says they couldn't have? The camera is now focused on the perspective of a more conventional force this time around after all, despite the unique nature of the unit. The Black Knights were basically a combination of high-tech equipment in the hands of irregular militia and a leader who did miracles.

Leila has great possibilities as well, has not only a soldier but a tactician.
It's a given that at some point they'll have her commanding the unit from the Alexander variant equipped with what seems like some sort of radar or electronic device, which should hopefully make for some interesting squad dynamics during the next operation. I suppose they'll be following the attack plan she briefly brought up in her discussion with the EU General.
