Our group has had this discussion many times. It seems unrealistic that a country would develop something that is not useful. In one of our games Russia bought a non-disposable tech dice and actually rolled a 6 then rolled on the chart and got “War Bonds” which was cool for them but if you look at the list there are very few that Russia can benefit from. Mostly depends if they are on the offensive. If they are on the defensive then only “War Bonds” and “Increased Factory Production” seem to be worthwhile. “Radar” would also be good but its on a separate chart with tech that would not benefit them. Most would say that Russia should not even consider rolling on tech and I tend to agree unless they are on the offensive and have a massive economy.
AAA question
-
So I was playing TripleA when something rather odd happened. When I used a bomber to attack a territory with only AAA, a full on battle ensued.
So if a territory only contains AAA and the enemy attacks the territory, are the AAA destroyed immediately without a fight? I was under the impression they were.
-
@superbattleshipyamato The AA rolls against the bomber as it is not a strategic bombing raid.
-
Land units can take it with no battle. Air Units still get shot at with the AA as normal.
-
Thank you for responding! I was wrong in prior games then. Not much I can do there.
-
@superbattleshipyamato In such as case, the AAA is destroyed only if at least one air unit survives the AA fire.

Thank you for responding! Yes, America found this rule and lost a strategic bomber for it.
