This may be a stupid question but please bare with me. If you don't research all of a specific tech tree, say tanks or example, will you be able to max out your tech should you continue after the end of the game?

yeah you will be able to. Once you get the final techs and put them to +5 +5 +5 +5 variants with land / air / naval experience, that'll be it for them though

your planes will fall out of the sky like flies, your tanks will fall apart and your ships will sink like crazy if you put 5 5 5 5 variants up. The reliabiltiy penalty will be horrible. :D

Ontopic: It should also be pointed out that the tech tree etc are of course modable. That means they could easiely be expanded by modders. I personaly think it wouldnt make that much sense to extend them too far tho, since by 1948 most campaigns will most likely have the world painted in your color if you play an major, but you might want to play an minor which are pretty fun to play at times aswell.

Yeah I agree it is a ww2 game but I guess what I'm trying to ask is it impossible to research anything else in the game if it's past 1948?
If you didn't research all techs until 1948, you can research the missing ones if you continue playing. But for an expanded tree, you have to wait for mods or expansions (and mods will be quite a bit faster with that)
