Manual Update: Technology
Updated the technology page in the manual today.
Technology
The types of equipment you can build for your units as well as the kinds of installations you can construct is determined by what technology you possess.
Some technology obsoletes previously researched equipment or gives new abilities to or upgrades existing equipment.
Researching new technology is done by using the Tech Tab on the Nation Info View.

Army Technology
grants access to new aircraft that has an increase in air-to-ground combat strength. The new aircraft will usually also have an increase in range, air-to-air combat strength and an increase to it's vision
attribute.
Each level grants access to new ship hulls that have an increase in sea defense. Increases in offensive ability is provided by the artillery tech. The new ships will also have a higher bomber and submarine defense.

"Electroboats" and "Fast Attack Subs". Each level grants access to new submarines that have an increase in their submarine attack and defense values. There is also a "Torpedo Upgrade" which increases the attack value of new and existing submarines and "The Schnorkel" which increases their defense value.
Each level grants an additional +50% Attack strength agianst submarines for any unit that can attack submarines.
strength for new and existing ships.
"Decimetric Naval Artillery Radar" and "Centimetric Naval Artillery Radar" each grant an additional +50% Ship's gun attack strength and double the effectiveness of antiaircraft fire for new and existing ships.
All of the doctrine techs obsolete each other, so you may only have one in force at a time.
