While the M830 HEATFS round is powerful, it struggles against composite armour and ERA, as well as having lacklustre post-penetration effects. Without access to thermal imaging or to the M829 and M829A1 APFSDS rounds, users will need to play more carefully. Main articles: M2HB (12.7 mm), M240 (7.62 mm) 12.7 mm M2HBĪs with any vehicle, the M1A1 finds itself at a serious disadvantage while stock. The penetration of the M829 APFSDS, even though is comparable if not a little better that its contemporaries, is not enough to handle most of the soviet MBTs it is going to face. An aced crew can reload the gun in just six seconds, which is comparable to the Leopard 2A5, Leclerc and T-80U, although slower than the Type 90 and Challenger 2. The gun has good depression and elevation angles. The M1A1's gun handles very well, with a very efficient stabiliser that allows accurate fire at any speed and a very fast 40 degrees per second turret traverse. However, don't expect to be able to fire back if you get penetrated: most penetrating hits will knock out at least one of these components/crew members: gun breech/barrel, turret traverse/elevation, gunner or loader, track(s), engine. However, the M1A1 also retains the excellent survivability of the Abrams series, with a spread out crew, separate ammunition compartment and shielding for fuel tanks and the engine compartment that make the tank unlikely to die in a single shot. This makes the tank quite vulnerable to enemy fire. However, the kinetic energy protection of the tank is quite lacklustre compared to its top tier compatriots, especially against the best rounds fielded by other nations' main battle tanks all of which can easily penetrate the Abrams frontally in practically any location. The M1A1 retains the Abrams series' exceptional protection against chemical energy projectiles, with the turret cheeks affording some 1,200 mm RHAe against shaped charges and the hull providing around 600 mm. The tank features composite armour in gun mantlet, turret cheeks, sides and lower front plate, with composite side skirts affording some protection along the frontal half of the vehicle's hull. The M1A1 is essentially an IPM1 armed with a 120 mm M256 gun, meaning the armour is almost identical to its tech-tree predecessor. The M1A1 remains an impressive vehicle for players to use and outpace their opponents with its mobility and destroy them with the 120 mm gun. ![]() The composite armour of the M1A1 retains the effective chemical protection and against downtier opponents, the protection against kinetic shells, especially those in uptiers, would force players to rely on the M1A1 mobility to avoid being hit, as well as excellent "soft" protection like the blow-out panels for the turret bustle ammo racks that can help prevent an ammunition cook-off from outright destroying the tank. The round selection is limited to APFSDS and HEAT-FS, the APFSDS rounds allow for a more even fight against opposing tanks, though may still require the M1A1 to aim at weak points against more protected opponents. The Tank, Combat, Full Tracked, 120-mm Gun M1A1 (shortened to M1A1) has been present in the game since Update 1.87 "Locked On" and gives the highly mobile Abrams platform the deadly 120 mm M256 gun to use against enemy tanks. ![]() The M1A1's ubiquity paved the way for various M1A1 upgrades, foreign sales, as well as the improved M1A2 Abrams. The M1A1 would set the standard of the modern Abrams design, becoming the most numerous produced base version of the Abrams tank at around 5,000 units manufactured (including retrofits to older M1 and IPM1 into M1A1 standards), and would most notably see combat in the US campaign in the Middle East such as the 1991 Operation Desert Storm and 2003 Operation Iraqi Freedom. Following a trial period with the M1E1 prototype with the 120 mm M256 gun installed, the vehicle was officially accepted into service in 1984 as the M1A1 Abrams, with production lasting from 1985 to 1993. ![]() However, after its acceptance in 1981, the US military began looking into the more powerful 120 mm Rheinmetall smoothbore gun for use in the Abrams. The first M1 Abrams tank originally featured a 105 mm M68A1 gun as part of cost concerns to get the Abrams into service. ![]() Scientists using the Hubble Space Telescope have confirmed that the Jupiter-orbiting moon Ganymede has an ocean beneath its icy surface, raising the prospects for life, NASA said on Thursday. The planet Jupiter is shown with one of its moons, Ganymede (bottom), in this NASA image captured on 9 April 2007. According to researchers this results in some icy moons containing interiors warm enough to host oceans of liquid water and in case of Io, the rocky moon, magma, due to tidal heating. The new study published in Geophysical Research Letters found that moon-moon interactions may be more responsible for the heating than Jupiter alone.Īccording to the paper's lead author Hamish Hay, a postdoctoral fellow at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, who did the research while he was a graduate student in the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, the result was surprising because Jupiter's moons are much smaller than the planet itself and one would not expect them to be able to create such a large tidal response.Īccording to a report by The University of Arizona, in a process called tidal heating, gravitational pull from Jupiter's moons and the planet itself and squish the moons enough to warm them. While it was thought that the extra warmth was provided by the planet itself, a new study now says that they are probably heating up each other. Jupiter has nearly 80 moons, including Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, which are the four largest.

However, unless you are growing vegetables that are likely to attract notoriously persistent predators such as foxes and opossums, chances are that you will never face this problem. High quality chicken wire is more expensive but it will last you longer as the metal mesh is usually covered in a special alloy that makes it more resistant to corrosion, wear and tear.Ĭheaper quality chicken wire, on the other hand, is more likely to rip and tear, especially when exposed to water and high levels of humidity over a long period of time.Ī particularly motivated animal may be able to bite through your chicken wire, and gain access to your raised garden bed.

Riddle Transfer sets up the stage to a sequel series of games by JonBro the series's original plans were scrapped, but it ended with its second installment on May 25, 2016- the first game's tenth anniversary. Riddle School 5 changes the stage from school to an alien space ship in an unexpectedly complicated series of events. Riddle Schools 2, 3, and 4 have practically the same mechanics to the first and follow a very similar plot line with our titular main character finding his way out of middle school, high school, and college, respectively. The game is inspired by Tom Fulp's Pico's School, which is the reason the first game is a point-and-click adventure game which takes place in an elementary school, Though there are considerably less guns here Riddle School opts to follow a relatively less extreme story by having the main character not shoot up the place and instead just try to get out of school through some strange puzzles. Riddle School is a Newgrounds flash game series created by JonBro (now known as Jonochrome) following a boy named Phil Eggtree trying to escape numerous grades of school, and later on, a number of environments. ![]() Several levels were very different, including one level where Aladdin must escape from the Cave of Wonders on Carpet and another where he must jump across the Agrabah's rooftops. The game mostly involves killing enemies with basic swordplay and jumping across ledges. The process successfully compressed the data from the animator's drawings into the limited processing capacity of the Sega Mega Drive. This was achieved by use of the "Digicel" process - developed at Virgin Interactive by David Perry, Andy Astor, Mike Dietz, Andy Luckey and Dr. ![]() It should be unsurprising, therefore, that the series of Disney games on the Genesis in the early 1990s capture the mood of classic Disney animation better than any before or since. Unlike the SNES version, the Genesis version was worked on by Disney animators under the supervision of Virgin's Animation Producer Andy Luckey and Virgin animators Mike Dietz and Ian Freedman. Griffin at the request of Virgin's audio director, Tommy Tallarico, who did the Genesis instruments and incidental transition music. Five original compositions and five arrangements from the movie were composed by Donald S.

Studio officials said the ADC was told during the meeting that Disney had weighed input from the ADC and other organizations and already decided to change the lyric in “Arabian Nights.” In fact, ADC members had already been vocal critics of the pic.įurthermore, Disney disputes Bustany’s version of the events of the meeting. The changes would require expensive rewrites, remixing of sound and reanimation of the movie - an unrealistic business and artistic proposition for Disney.Īt a second meeting, a week later, Bustany said Disney offered a deal: It would change the “Arabian Nights” lyric if the ADC would not take its objections to the press before the October homevid release. communications professor Jack Shaheen and deejay Casey Kasem, the ADC asked for changes in the lyric and elimination of what they see as discriminatory accents, and that a scene of a merchant trying to lop off Princess Jasmine’s hand be cut out. In fact, Disney employed a number of Arab scholars and consultants.Īt a May 26 meeting among distribution prexy Cook, VP publicity Terry Press, ADC national prez Albert Mokhiber, regional director Nazih Bayda, Southern Illinois U. “There was no consideration given to how this would affect people of Arab origin,” Bustany said. Singer Brian Adler recorded both versions of the song, so Disney just dusted off some old master recordings to make the switch.īustany said the lyric changes are an olive branch offered by Disney after the ADC began to question “Aladdin’s” racial balance. The new lyrics, also penned by the late Academy Award-winning lyricist Howard Ashman, will be placed on the homevideo version of the movie, to be released Oct. ![]() Ironically, the majority of the townspeople in the movie are actually caricatures of Disney producers, directors and animators. “The irony in all of this is that this is the first movie in years where both the hero and heroine are Arabic, and both are obviously terrific role models, not just for Arabs but for everybody.”īustany said, “Probably the most demeaning thing to Arabs is that all of the townspeople, the merchants and guards and soldiers are depicted as mean and cruel.” Not so, said Disney distribution prez Dick Cook. “Can an Arab-American child feel good after seeing ‘Aladdin’? The answer is no.” “Every American child has a right to grow up feeling good about himself or herself,” said Bustany. The ADC official also leveled objections to the generic American elocution used by such favorable characters as Aladdin, Princess Jasmine and the benign Sultan.ĭisney countered that the really bad guy in “Aladdin,” Jafar, speaks with an English accent, while his conniving parrot, Iago, has a Brooklyn accent.
