New players; defeated.

Even in a medium tank in T3 I still get one or two shot by tier 5 tanks in the battle. Even when its just me alive by myself.
  I understand it takes time to learn and get the feel for things. It just left a bad taste so to speak when you get repeatedly one shot in a game. Even using tactics like flanking hiding etc. It seems someone just levels a barrel at my tank and I evaporate lol.   I sincerely hope it gets better after I hit tier 5. I will make the grind and learn all I can from those of you that offered your help (which I thank you heaps )
