Server replays are here: https://warthunder.com/en/tournament/replay/

Go to that page, log in with same account as you use in game. Search for replay (via your nickname), then launch game, when you in hangar - alt tab to linked page and launch replay. Go back to game - you will see serer replay - state of game that is valid for server (and any other player). There you can check what actually happened on server, without delay and packet loss from client side.
