That is incorrect. Flanking rule exists as an optional rule in the Dungeon Master Guide. It is designed, of course, to be used with miniatures. Miniatures combat in D&D 5E feels great btw smile

The Player handbook also has rules for underwater combat and mounted combat, so I'd say they're quite complete.
