That doesn't make any sense.

Since he was trained when he was very young then his skill levels should be very high. That was the whole point of Flit doing it in the first place. When Kio steps into the Gundam he would feel right at home and it'd be second nature to him. This was demonstrated when he took out that Vagan artillery without harming the city itself. Had Flit not trained Kio he could've made a reckless decision that could've caused lots of collateral damage (Ex. Kira using Strike's buster cannon to attack Ra but accidently blew a giant hole in the colony)

In a way it was Flit whose partly at fault for the way Kio has turned out. Now that Kio sees that his Grandpa isn't really the nice righteous old man he thought he was he's confused and without proper guidance this no kill plan was the best thing he could come up with on his own.
It doesn't matter. Just because he now views things differently doesn't mean his skill level would drop.

Heck generally speaking most gundam protagonists in Kio's age bracket are dumped into a war they dont' want to fight in but as time progresses they get better and better.

Kio on the other hand just seems to be getting worse and worse.

At the very least Kira in Freedom was able to stand up to tougher and tougher enemies even with his no-kill policy. Kio can't even do jack.
