They shouldn't have rushed or added in plotlines that shouldn't have existed. Leave the love triangles to fanfiction, don't bring it into a series where there isn't much time as is. Back to General Iroh, his tactics were lacking. Even with no planes, those airships would've made easy work of his battleships. They were fast and carried heavy firepower, plus had a longer range than any of the firebending cannons. Then there were the mines. Mines have been used for years, why he didn't anticipate them is on him. He overlooked that problem. He should've either sent a small scout ship to survey the area first or try to take them by land. Unload the troops and vehicles close to the city, but in an area not taken over by the Equalists. Then sail the ships into the harbor with a small number of troops, while the true invasion occurs. It's not a guaranteed success, but it was better than what he did which was basically serve his men and women up to the enemy on a silver platter.
