Possible bug with Research

From the BCS file:

Research4TSL=84

Research4CurrentLevel=12

My Subdivision and Damage Control in game:

Double bottom - Gradual damage control improvement

Improved subdivision - Gradual damage control improvement

Torpedo protection I - Enables Torpedo protection I on ships

High capacity pumps I - Gradual damage control improvement

Torpedo protection II - Enables Torpedo protection II on ships

Extended double bottom - Gradual damage control improvement

High capacity pumps II - Gradual damage control improvement

Triple bottom - Gradual damage control improvement

So why does the 'Research4CurrentLevel=12' say 12 and I only have 8 techs? Shouldn't it be 12 techs? I was waiting to develop TP3 around 1919, and held off building a BB or BC for 5 years because the relevant tech never presented itself. It's now 1924 and my Subdivision and Damage Control Techs haven't changed in 4 years since I got Triple Bottom. I'm certainly behind the curve when it comes to capital ships and I want to see if this is normal before proceeding. Thank you.

Is this normal? Why say I have current level 12 and only have 8 techs? That a bug?

It is working OK. Some tech can be skipped. It can happen that you will get it later.

Aye, the reason it's not updated for a while is that the research is attempting to process tech 12.

That is Torpedo Protection IV which has a penalty to research points earned before 1924. I figure you're likely to develop it any time.

Ok, cool. Took a while!

Research techs have a number next to it in the files (usually between Y:50 and Y:100) and thats the chance to skip said tech.
this can be found in the Research 1 and 2 files located in the data folder.

for torpedo protection 2, 3, and 4 the chance to skip them is 50% 
adding the chances together i believe chance to unlock all of them is like 10-15%
for superimposed X, B, 4 centerline and CDF the combined chance to unlock all is 24%

you can mod it to be 100%
