1. he says you dont have to charge it to full power so you can choose the charge appropriate for the situation, im sure if you only use the 1st charge you WONT have to reload

2. you shouldnt be trying to shoot an aircraft at full tilt with dumb fire, its hard even with flak,  but slow moving aircraft like libs etc should  be easy pickings, should note i expect lancers full charge to be decimator type damage so trust me you hit that lib, he WILL feel you
