Happens to me everytime I play.  I rarely get a one shot kill, even when I am in a Tiger.

You are fighting statistics I think. The better you become or the longer you play the more likely it is that you will die to one hit and the fewer you will get in return. Its best not to get too serious with it I think.

you are not hitting the enemy in the right spot and "grazing" or just damaging. I feel the turret is best place to score a kill or disable.

Not only that you hit. It's where you hit and at what angle. Happens to all of us. Range also has an effect as does the gun.

You need to post the film.  An AP round that pokes a whole thru two pieces of armor and empty space between it isn't going to kill anything.

Could also be invisible lag. Although you see the enemy tank in-front of you, in reality it could be a few feet to one side. So when you hit what you see, you're actually hitting thin air.

I heard having vsync (in video card graphic settings) off can give you rubber bullets.
