Dropping connections would stop attacks actually, I am not sure where you heard or learned that a attack can still cause effect if dropped but you're wrong. Why do you think when you nullroute a IP the attack stops? It's because you're dropping the connections, the only way this could happen is if you're rejecting the connection which still sends a response.

Also best way to get ahold of OVH is by phone, I wouldn't bother with tickets if you need a quick response. Also OVH's default protection doesn't include special UDP filters it's a default UDP filter which offers basic protection, as stated using their SYS game server range has custom filters made for the game itself. OVH has shitty support and it's very well known but you get what you pay for, it is a good solution though that I would recommend trying, either that or you're going to keep spending money on trying to solve the problem yourself.

A other solution as I gave you is to get with a company that offers you to customize your protection and filters. There is a few companies out there that offer DDoS protection and do such things an example is reliablesite.net
