The automatic research system seems very tied to "year" in order to get specific guns, and if you do not research them within said timeframe, you will never research them again.
This means most nations are stuck with 13" -2 guns THROUGH THE ENTIRE GAME, and it also means that if you get unlucky and get 14" -1 guns and you dont get q0 or q1 within the "time limit" you are stuck with them forever.
this suggestion would basically make it so that when you go into gun research, and you see a list of all the guns you have, instead of the "levels" field being empty, it is low-high so you can choose to focus on specific guns.
logically researching bigger guns will cost more "research" so getting 20" q1 guns would take 10+ years of constant research with almost everything else on low, but it would be possible
unlike currently where getting 18" q0 and anything bigger q0 is realistically impossible, leaving you with what is essentially ww1 guns for these calibers.
This would also make guns less year dependant.
This would also better simulate the admiralty requesting research/development of specific gun calibers/guns to fit their requirements.
(the attached picture has had gun calibers modded to q0 as its from my testing save)
