This is a small modification I made for my own game. However, maybe someone else finds this useful. I'm playing with AoD 1.05 but this should be compatible with other AoD versions.
Word of caution: If you don't want to play with 10 tech teams this mod will mess with the balance of the game. Even if you do there is no guarantee that the us won't nuke you in 43. To change back to 10 tech teams run the Parches Hoi2-AoD.exe in your main game folder, select English, click patchs, select your game exe, set max team slots to 10 (8 or 7 maybe also good values and won't mess that much with the game balance). Than patch it.
This mod is not realy tested (didn't have the time). So use at own risk.
I don't intend to support this mod. Everybody who wants to mess with the files is allowed to do so, probably it's all fixed in the next version of IC anyway.
Ideas that could be implemented (maybe by someone else
)
P.s.: With historical date I don't mean that you should add a penalties for researching ahead. That's fine as it is. But having the date only would make research so much easier.

Changelog:
1. Changed GDE for all countries back from 0.8 to 1.0. It seems the original 0.8 value was the cause for being overran by polish forces as Germany.
2.1 I tried to make the game playable with 10 tech teams. For this purpose technologie takes around 33% longer to research.
2.2 Further all countries starting with more than 5 tech teams get a penalty to their research efficiency until 1939.
2.3. Major countries with less than 5 tech teams get a little bonus to their research efficiency.
2.4. Research with blueprints should be a little bit faster. This way allies of the major players can keep up with research.I don't intend to support this mod. Everybody who wants to mess with the files is allowed to do so, probably it's all fixed in the next version of IC anyway.

Code:
1. Grant all minor countries a boost in research efficiency to allow them to keep up.
or (even bedder)
2. Add historical dates to the research db. That would also make it easier to understand the tech tree.
2.1 Grand a bonus for outdated technologie in the misc.txt of max 2-3. That way countries with less than 5 tech teams can keep up in research with everyone else a view years behind.P.s.: With historical date I don't mean that you should add a penalties for researching ahead.
