I have had this issue for some time now. I can't figure out what it causing the issue. My solution is to close down wows, and restart the game. I'm able to re-join the game 100% of the time. At least so far. Usually I just miss the start of the match by a second or two.
The url in Download link #1 is messed up.

According to the WOWS twitch stream, the training room that could be enabled through your config file was broken last WOWS patch. Glad to hear Aslain has a fix.
This has happened to me on and off since I have been using Aslain's pack. I have been using the mod for a long time. Some updates you can buy a slot and sometimes it's not there to buy one.
I'm having some problems as well. I can't download no manga and Scryptar skins. I think my problem has to do with this link and maybe so does your problem.

WoWs Region Changer. Unticking that fixed my DNS problems. I first uninstalled Aslain's. Then reinstalled and went down the list until I found one I thought would mess with IP's and DNS's.
I never used it. I think you can play in different regions with it.
For me it was one of the wot tweak settings. I currently have enabled
disable exhaus smoke
disable wreckage smoke
disable tree motion effects
disable clouds
So it was one of the other ones doing it.
I had the exact same problem. Do you have any WOT tweaks enabled? I don't know which ones did it but the ones i have enabled now are..
disable exhaus smoke
disable wreckage smoke
disable tree motion effects
disable clouds
I don't have that problem with those enabled.
