Cannot connect to the server

[ALULA_21E-psn]

Current issues as of March 17th.
Today in Air RB, I can sometimes play, but guns with 20mm caliber and above are unnaturally not hitting/registering damage.
Also, in Simulator Battles, I can’t create/host a room at all.
Is this a server-side issue? Are other people experiencing the same problems?

Servers are not down but there can be issues with connection.

Thank you.
Seriously, what do these vile people who commit acts like DDoS even hope to achieve…?
May War Thunder be blessed with good fortune. And may divine retribution strike those wrongdoers hard.

Is DDoS attack over now?

[ALULA_21E-psn]

Servers are back up since like 2 hours ago. Still, lag is just as bad. My usual lead shots with the MG FF/M aren’t landing at all. Really annoying/frustrating.
