Thanks for the report however no they are not. The tooltip shows what it would do if applied *right now*, it does not show what it applied when it was researched.

I guess this would really be a suggestion to hide the [__-->__] part for technologies that have already been researched, since it provides no useful information

Of course, as usual, this is not a mistake, there is proof that these numbers are correct, especially if the player wants to check in the future what this research gave him.

The game does not store what a given technology did when it was researched, or what the bonus was when it was researched. All it has is the value defined by the technology and the current value of the bonus on the force.

So with that information available this is all it can show. It was decided that was still useful and so it was added. Maybe if enough players find it not useful we could revert the feature and show only the “+4” part.

Is this infeasible to calculate because multiple technologies could increase the same bonus and therefore the value depends on the order of research?

Obviously, the number of reports of this issue is an indication of something, but Wube employees always have their own opinion
