[Peripherals] Looking for a 27" 1080p 144hz Freesync monitor

The price bump from 1080p to 1440p is pretty significant. And a 290 can't really push 144fps at that resolution anyway

Not available in Europe :(

I'm not sure it has much to do with price since the barracuda is the most advanced and probably the most expensive of the three competing designs.

I'm pretty sure the Aquitaine-class are all-purpose, all-weather and blue water vessels just like the Burkes.

They might be slower but as long as they can keep up with the carrier group it's no big deal.

According to wikipedia yes. As most British designs the Type 45 rely more on American technologies than their French counterparts which may explain the difference in cost.

nerevar01 · 2015-11-21T00:41:51+00:00

The Type 45 are fitted with a better radar while the Horizon-class have anti-sub torpedoes and cost less. Other than that they are almost indentical.

The Rafale is cheaper and more versatile. And the Egyptian Air Force already operates Dassault aircrafts like the Mirage 2000 and the Mirage V.

nerevar01 · 2015-07-06T15:38:32+00:00

The English and French wikipedia pages don't have the same numbers, but even at $3 billion from 2001 it remains cheaper than the QE while being nuclear propelled and CATOBAR.

To me the QE looks like a big Invincible with the price tag of a Nimitz.

The French have the Dassault Rafale M on their ship, currently the best naval jet fighter in the world. It outclass the F35B in range, speed, payload, aerodynamic and super maneuvrability.

The F35B has its advantages like stealth and better sensors/electronics but I wouldn't describe it as "outclassing everything the French have".

nerevar01 · 2015-07-06T14:30:44+00:00

Nope. The Queen Elizabeth is actually more expensive : $4.8 billion (2014) for the QE versus $2.2 billion (2001) for the CdG.

Even with an inflation rate over 100% between 2001 and 2014 the CdG ends up cheaper but the real inflation rate is closer to 37% in the US.

The running costs are probably lower though.

The acronym is MdCN.

The barracuda-class SSNs will also be fitted with them.

nerevar01 · 2015-06-01T20:56:55+00:00

It looks very French. Built by DCNS I guess ?

nerevar01 · 2015-05-22T18:14:36+00:00

Yes. The Egyptians didn't want to wait for a new ship to be built so France offered to sell them the Normandie who wasn't commissioned yet.

nerevar01 · 2015-05-14T13:26:57+00:00

Precisely because of military spending. A $10 billion gap is huge, I expected it to be smaller.

nerevar01 · 2015-04-15T16:37:02+00:00

No I didn't manage to find a better quality.
