I tried in serval games to tech steal as soviet in mexico or afghanistan. Many times.
And all i got was 10%.
No 100% 1j 2j 300%
Did they nerfed tech stealing?

The research tech stealing exploit was "fixed" (nerfed) by Patch 1.11.4 per patch note "Bugfix - Fixed research exploit".
The forum thread 1476615 provides tech stealing insight since the patch.
EDIT: cc @BeauNiddle
EDIT 2: I could find no forum discussion on the subject since the patch. Perhaps another forum member is willing to share their experience. Please disregard the strikethrough text as that forum discussion took place before the patch.

I mean what technology do you reckon you would steal from nations like Afghanisthan, when you are playing Soviet? Quite unlikely they would have a more advanced production technology than you.
Only stealing from mutually exclusive branches has been fixed, other sources of tech optimization are still there just as before.
Man, I didn't notice this exploit got patched. Thanks for ruining my day, Paradox!

If you find it possible can you elaborate? I've only seen YouTube guides on how to steal from Nepal
Guess that's exactly what has been patched but if there is any honey left in the pot...

double tech still works. by stealing a tech while actively researching it, without yet reaching 50% progress, you will get it twice.Yeah what are "other sources of optimization"

On top of that, deliberately lagging behind in some irrelevant tech (-2 levels) allows to farm ahead-of-time reductions for main ones. Useful for use against UK's Radars and USSR's Refinery. Although this grants far less reliable yield than simple 'doubling down' and might require save-scumming.
