Tech companies provide no bonus

[Traks]

How to test it.
Pick company that provides bonus (Like Soviet MIG company, +10% agility and speed).
Build planes.
Planes have no expected bonus in their stats.

Have not tested with other tech companies, but I would expect the same results.

the company gives bonus to NEW technolocy only! So building an old tech plane wouldn't give you a bonus - you have to research the next plane and THIS one gets the Bonus!

so: no bug!

Ok, thanks for answer. Then tooltip/information is missing to indicate it will affect only newly researched plane.
That, and also completely illogical.
And it is pretty bad option then, as for planes you will not get 1940 model plane for like forever.

This is absolutely logical. It's called a designer. So he don't give bonuses to things he haven't designed.

I was also surprised at first, but it make sense.

But why then Bf 109 havent the designer bonus in the start of Germany 1936? This fighter was designed and created by Messerschmitt, still no bonus.

You're saying that "By selecting this design company they will permanently affect capabilities on equipment researched while they are hired." is not enough information in that regard?

I'm not sure how we'd be able to make the tooltip clearer in that regard without turning it unwieldy.

 

[Traks]

Maybe "Only newly researched models will be affected by selected company benefits".
But I understood the principle behind, even if it was not obvious at all.

This might be slightly off-topic but How does Heinz Guderian work as the Theorist for Germany? He is supposed to provide 10% speed to all tank units but it doesn't seem to work?
