Playing as Italy, Arma 1.3 latest beta patch. I turned on tech team takeover, just because I had never tried it before. Looked like it was working well (although annexing both Republican and Nationalist Spain gave me multiples of some tech teams, like SECN). I'm not in June 1943, and using the research calculator it keeps recommending that I use certain teams. However, they don't seem to exist. In fact, I only seem to have gained the teams from nations I've conquered, otherwise I have the starting Italian tech teams, minus some that apparently end in 1941/42 (Cavagnari is no longer an option for me, for example). The clearest example I can remember was that it recommended Giovanni Messe for researching a land doctrine, but he's nowhere to be found.
So, my question is: Does turning on tech team takeover stop you from gaining the tech teams you should gain as your starting country?
