Gun tech not advancing properly for me

[conner]

So, I have 13" -1 as my best gun calibre, while the AI has 16" armed BCs under construction. I'm on TechQuirk = 0 so I'm a little confused

Not sure if this is a bug or just plain bad luck

Super Large, 80% and Slight Variation.

Guns have been on medium the entire time and all High/Low researches were balanced.

I'm reading the Undeveloped shipbuilding industry can cause tech differences. Might be a possible explanation since I never made Bs, and all my BBs and BCs have been local builds. I got my 12" 0 from tech stealing China and I believe I researched the 13" -1, but I'm not positive.

If you put research at below 100%, tech progress become more unpredictable. You cannot really expect things to turn out as in the real world.

Yeah, I had expected that. However, all other nations have 14"+, except me and Spain. Even China got 14" guns. Spain has basically no budget, so that's understandable. But for me (Japan) it's a little confusing given that my budget is firmly in the range of other advanced nations (Except GB). Germany even has 18" guns, larger than anyone else.

Given my settings, the only cause I can think of is the USB with me not using foreign yards that much. Or the RNG was so bad that I got gimped, and in that case, it might need to be tuned a smidge.
