sure they are. but even if we don't count a much straighter trajectory for fast bullets, just think about one thing. you fire at a moving target, say 600 meters away. you have got a subsonic bullet. so the target has TWO seconds to move. see what i mean?
as i said, it is not the fault of the russian d-81 gun - it is in many ways comparable to the german rh120 used on m1, in some ways (atgm support) even clearly superior.
it is the old targeting system on the old iraqui t-72. if you take a modern t-72 and assume that both crews are equally trained, it would be quite tough for the m1. and if you take the most modern version of t-72 called t-90 (that is the tank india is buying now) i would rather bet on t-90 because its targeting system is as good as the most modern m1 one, add antitank guide missiles (which can kill at 5 km) and active anti-shell system and you have quite a killer.
by the way, modern antitank "shells" aren't that big. mostly, apfsds is used, that is a sabot. it looks like a thin missile, made of a very hard metal. the big calibers are used for storing a hell lot of propelling charge and because the charge is so big and the sabot so small the damn thing gets really fast. imagine that lot kinetic energy on a small needle. that is the way it penetrates armor.
iraqis use old soviet hv-apfsds (hyper velocity sabots) made of steel. they suck, that is why ussr abandoned these in nineteen-sixties. even if iraqis are well enough trained to aim an m1 at 4 km with their obsolete targeting systems (their tanks weren't upgraded for quite a long time), the steel penetrators wouldn't get through.
u.s. tank crews should be really glad that russia (or ukraine) has not sold some modern ammo and modern targeting systems to iraq.
m1a2 mammoth gun? the german rheinmetall 120 mm? come on, t-72 has a 125 mm gun, which is defenitely not worse - it is even capable of firing antitank guide missiles - try the same with the rh120. but the problem with the iraqi t-72 is that they have an old targeting system (modern russian ones are far better, some are even better than in latest m1 tanks). the second problem is the really old hvapfsds ammo, with steel penetrators which wasn't used in the ussr anymore since 196x (modern penetrators are made of tungsteen carbide, or, in usa case, of depleted uran)
it does not compete. in germany, there is a free government tax software, too. the difference between this and commercial software is that commercial software helps the user to pay less tax. the government software is just the same as tax sheets on plain paper.
translation of a short except:
even early prototypes of amd opteron can win over all competition in four ways systems - either 32 or 64 bit - at the sap sd benchmark. and that with only 1.6 ghz (planned to launch at 2 ghz)
come on, this is humour. a parody, to be more precise. you read the excepts "written" by other authors and if you know their former works you understand all the humour and the hints.
nevertheless, a lots of good parodies are a sign of being at least respected. if the original isn't good, the parodists wouldn't even care.
just for example, there is a russian parody on silmarillion, called zvirmarillion (http://lib.ru/ANEKDOTY/zwirmrlon.txt)
it is hilarious, it makes fun of all the pathos in silmarillion and it helps to understand the original lot better. i have read both books simultanous and i was astonished that zvirmarillion, although much shorter and funnier, is more understandable and skips nearly nothing of the story (unlike for example "bored of the rings").
they are quite ok, relative cheap and fast, too, so no problems with games. i've got one for nearly a year and i am quite content with it. beware though, not all of them have dvi
actually there is a helicopter you can eject from.
it is the russian ka-50 black shark, in the west better known as hokum or werewolf for those commanche players. after the ejection lever has been pulled, the rotor blades are blown up.
the helicopter uses the same world best ejection seat as mig-29 which can rescue the pilot even from the ground.
there are more differences, just try to reformat a pen written text or to erase some text in the middle of the document.
see the difference?
my point is, a computer is a machine, quite powerful and complex. and it should be used like such a machine, not imitate something. different tools are used differently. not intended to be a flamebate but if people are too stupid/ignorant to realize this then they should stay by pen and paper.

it will definitely teach you to keep relaxed, even if you make a mistake. it should save you quite a lot of money on keyboards.
funny thing so, i do know a sniper, russian army.
don't be so us-centric

except that there are no 1 euro notes. 5 euros is the smallest one.
cent or eurocent.
it is even official as far as i know.

i think this review says it all.
btw half live is the only fps where i was really too scared to look around a corner (uhg these head crabs)
well, it is quite possible. you just have to be fast enough.
a good friend of mine learned wu shu for some time. she could do it. looked quite cool.
very, very, very seldom.

t-72 was shot by the rh120 gun, the same m1 uses.

it sucks if you use norton commander often.
you have to switch forth and back every time.
swizerland isn't in the eu.
no, it isn't. you don't say "to draw software", do you?
Zeichensoftware is correct, just as Zeichentrickfilm (animated film, cartoon)
it does not compete.
in germany, there is a free government tax software, too. the difference between this and commercial software is that commercial software helps the user to pay less tax. the government software is just the same as tax sheets on plain paper.
it is german for drawing software. open office draw then.
it is a huge rpg game at sea, somehow like privateer though. i played sea dogs and i loved that game.
sea dogs 2 should be released soon.
