I have a question about The National Focuses. Can a ahead of time booster and a Research booster stack. Like example the 50% Wonder Weapon research booster and the Nuclear ahead of time booster. Can they both be stacked together to make the time even lower?

IIRC, if both could apply it will always be the ahead of time that is used first, even if you are only a few days ahead of time.
But I think there are some NFs which give you either a -50% research time or a -100% early research malus. And the Generic focus tree's air reasearch bonus is bugged I think as it seems to apply both.
In the case of these, I believe once again that ahead of time gets precedence. So if the project in question is even a few days ahead that bonus would get used and effectively wasted. You'd have been better of if it was only a small bit ahead of time to wait until January and use the percentage bonus instead.
No im sure both apply at once because you can research Fighter 3 in 1939 or something in just 70 days IIRC. But it is only the Generic focus tree Air boni.
I guess I will have to take your word for it. It is rare for me to be using the generic tree.
Its all one booster. Yes, it will look like it stacks, but its one booster that gives a ahead of time malus reduction AND a research time reduction. But if you get a 1940 BB model booster and a generic ship booster - only one will be applied, when researching the 1940 BB model.
