It is 1928 in my 1900 game as Great Britain, and I still do not have torpedo bomber tech or dive bomber tech. All of the AI nations have both at this point. I was eventually able to get access to TBs and DBs by allying with someone and then buying planes from them, but i lose prestige every time I buy a new design, and I still have not developed the technologies even after operating the planes. Is this a bug, or did I just get really unlucky?

"Early air launched torpedoes - Enables air launched torpedoes"
Do you have that tech in your heavier than air list as if you do I am pretty sure all you need do is go to aircraft types and request a torpedo bomber proposal

DBs are a 1930 tech, so its fairly normal not to have them at that point. As for TBs, you just got unlucky. I had the same happen in my first game as Japan and ended up also buying foreign designs. I finally got the tech in 1932. It would be interesting if having a type in service (either from foreign purchase or from getting it via the 'Design companies offer you a design for X') would help with getting the tech if you don't already have it and its X years past the standard date for it. This might already be the case, not sure.

I guess I'll just have to wait, but it does seem like you should get the tech automatically or at least quickly after you purchase them from another nation and start operating them.

i think you may have gotten unlucky - in my first game as A-H i hit 1940 without having either tech, and since i went 'all in' on CVs at the expense of having almost no BBs assuming i was going to get that tech soon, i had to end the game and start a new one
my 2nd game as Japan i got TBs in the early 1920s which is much better
