Just started playing the desert warrior and was very excited to use the tow 2 bs only to find they cant even do the job they were designed for due to nerfs from the russian side of the games complaints that they were doing what they were designed to do, kill russian tanks. so despite the accessible documents explaining how it works, penetration values and how it is used, they decide to nerf it even though this game supposedly strives for realism.
Is this a case of russian bias? if not, how?
Any explanation would be helpful?

At least because warhead in game
Because as per
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/6slvhzRi0SY3
“Russian tanks have wet storage of shells and use diesel fuel with a high flash point.”
Which apparently trump the use of dual EFPs, and video evidence.

if im not wrong an EFP forms a kinetic penetrator so it acting like a jet (copper cone) penetrator is just wrong. bet it gets fixed as soon as the russians get a EFP

Overpressure, while superior to the hullbreak of the past, as well as superior to all other methods other games used; is still still a flawed simulation of how proximity munitions function.

Because playing against the M3A3/BILL on release was almost as fun and engaging gameplay as facing Ka-50 Vikhrs in Heli PvP
Why is the missile flying in a straight line? It should be way more wobbly.

It was good at introduction, then the Ivan Mainers cried bloody murder because their Bias code wasn’t saving them from top attack so Gaijin nerfed them into oblivion.

To be honest, this single video is not definitive evidence that the TOW2-B can turret toss every Russian tank in existence. They could’ve easily rigged the turret with explosives and other fuels to make it seem more powerful than it is for dramatization (propaganda) purposes.
that is true, however in game it should be more akin to the tow 2b the swedes have, instead of just taking out the breach and thats it
Standart autoloader is enough, to do that.

Yeah I don’t doubt the effectiveness of the TOW-2B, I just hate when people just that example to exaggerate how strong it is, and therefore it should ALWAYS one shot everything because of this single video. But I agree, it should do a little more damage than just taking out the breach and commander.
So according to you, Americans named Ivan complained and that’s the reason Gaijin nerfed all top attack munitions, including the BMP-2M’s 9M133FM-3 missile.
1- HESH is the strongest its ever been.
2- APDS is the strongest its ever been.
3- USSR players nerfed 9M133FM-3 according to you as well… lol
So according to you, Soviets nerfed the BMP-2M, and buffed HESH and APDS.
APDS part makes a little sense with your overtly false conspiracy theory since Soviets rely on APDS, but it wasn’t Soviets that caused APDS to be buffed.
This is not a top attack missle

I see you’re here to defend Russian equipment and claim NATO players are all wrong.
Shell shattered with a 122mm against Chieftain with >400mm of pen? - Also you.
Shell shattering is universal.
And my 105mm HESH frags Tiger 2s with ease.
you are the one defending russian equipment here mate
