This is where the Raven Guard's strength lies. They're better at seeing the bigger picture than say, the Space Wolves, Blood Angels, and Black Templars. choosing your battles does nto mean you win wars ;)

take nids or orcs, who simply snowball when left alone No, but it can help if you know what you're doing, there is such a thing as a tactical retreat. there may be that tactic, there will be many instances where that simply will not work out too well

Maybe, but there's also plenty of instances where standing your ground can do more harm than good, so I don't see how the Raven Guard's capacity to not just go "Hurr durr glory" and charge is really a downside compared to other chapters.
