I'd love to but when I have 10 shots, 0 damage - there are only so many opportunities particularly when I am only a 2 - 4 shot kill and nothing bounces off me..... And that particular game cost me 30,000 credits using standard ammo. About 1 in 1000 battles I get lucky and end up with a top score or ace tanker and actually survive a battle. Don't let the 6500 battles fool you. My average game duration is under 2 minutes.
If you're firing 10 shots and doing 0 damage, there are a couple of potential reasons.
1) You're too far away. Which is unlikely since you're dying so quickly.
2) You don't know your own tank's penetration values and the enemy's weakspots/hull armor thickness. Which in that case is an issue with unfamiliarity, which can easily be solved.
If you are a 2 - 4 shot with nothing bouncing off you, I assume you might be using a light tank, afterall you seem to have the most games in light tanks. I don't think you died suicide scouting since you've been firing shots. You complain of bouncing, which probably means you are attempting to brawl in a light tank against heavy tanks. Which in that case, is your problem. Light tanks are not supposed to engage in one on one brawls with heavies.
In fact, I suggest you stop playing light tanks and play some other class since light tanks are difficult and not beginner friendly. They require knowledge on map awareness, camo mechanics, familiarity with both your tank and the tanks you're facing and general situational awareness, all of which you don't seem to have. Go play a heavy tank or something, you seem to do better in them anyway (as in you do slightly more than 1 shot of damage).
You want advice? Find Storm's Thread of improvement and post a couple of replays. We'll critique you, but if you want to defend your actions as "RNG" we're going to give you flak, otherwise, we can tell you what you did wrong.
