How easy something is to calculate really depends on how simplified the formula is and how clear the formula maker was. For example:
Honghong angle 50 hook shots with boomer. You can calculate power this way:
1/4 screen 1.5 bars 1/2 screen 2.3 bars 3/4 screen 2.9 bars 1.0 screen 3.35 bars
Or you can use this formula:
P=-1.4D^2+4.21D+.5375
Obviously one of these is easier.
Generally, I avoid fixed angle because the power must be perfect, and that means very precise calculations that can give you an exact answer like "2.65". To get an answer that is accurate to the 1/100th of a bar requires a pretty sharp formula, whereas the wind adjustment formulas for fixed power shooting are fairly simple, the worst you'll have to do is something like 26*.75. I can do that in my head, more or less.
Accuracy also depends on the formula maker and how good the formula user is. If I make a perfect, detailed windchart for fixed power shooting... then that's perfectly accurate as long as I tested it, and you understand it, and you can calculate it fast enough.
But there's only so much I can expect a normal human being to memorize, so my chart has weaknesses and estimations and sloppy parts that aren't perfect.
If someone makes a good and accurate fixed angle formula like phantomD's armor 35, then that's probably the most accurate you can get in gunbound. It'll tell you exactly how many pixels of power to use, and it'll be correct for almost any situation. With fixed power formulas, I might end up with something like "adjust 13.5 angles", and you can't do that, so you're forced to adjust 13 angles or 14 angles, then change your power a bit.
But like I said, you have to focus on what's humanly learnable. There's no reason you can't learn 1 then learn the other later. Start with the one that looks easiest and most understandable, then later try the advanced, difficult stuff.

Once again, thank you very much.
