Current Status
The developer has acknowledged the service interruption, noting that the game may be unavailable while they work to resolve technical issues affecting the servers. There is no estimated time for full restoration provided in the official update.
Recent Activity
This server outage follows a series of active updates for the title. Earlier today, the team released a small update, version 2.57.1.81, which addressed a specific bug where radio proximity fuzes on ARH and SARH missiles were functioning incorrectly in INS+DL mode.
Additionally, the game is currently hosting several active events, including the "Guardian of the Baltic Sea" event set for August 13 and a ongoing monthly decal collection event.
