More to the point, we don't know when the Manual of Armor was written, or for what army (if any specific army at all). Tactics don't just change over time, they change from one army to another. Armies do not all fight the same.

Lastly, at the end of the day it's Bethesda who determine what is and is not lore friendly.

This manual is commissioned by General Warhaft to serve as a guide and manual to armor for all officers in the Imperial service. Manual of Armor was written for use by the Legion.
