I cant seem to see through smoke at all, but enemy seems to be able to see and shoot me all the time. Do I need to change a setting or something?

NO....you need to move from your last know position....

The great thing about smoke, is that when used defensively, most of the time someone is sitting in or right behind it. So the Smoke is really just a giant target that screams "fire excess ordnance here."
Use smoke offensively, don't fire smoke infront of you, but infront of where you're taking fire from. You'll blind a larger portion of the opponent's vision, you won't mark yourself as a giant target, and you really should be running for the nearest piece of cover to pull in over yourself anyways.
Smoke is best used to blind your opponent, range your opponent, or to lay a screen for follow on forces.
Hiding in smoke is generally a bad idea, you can't see anything, but it costs nothing for them to fire a shot into smoke and score a lucky hit.

Smoke is the last thing a tank should do. Really. Especially when there are airplanes in the area.

I guess I should have said I'm not the one shooting smoke. It seems enemy puts a salvo or two of smoke out, then sits behind it and shoots me and I cant see him at all behind his smoke. I may be 1200 to 2000 yds from the enemy.

I would suggest that you be aware of how light plays its role on the battlefield. Under certain circumstances you may be able to make out shadows through the smoke. This effect should be directional and change as the position of the sun changes. I have not verified that through experimentation but I have seen how this looks through experience online. I would doubt that any one card has an advantage over any other and there is no setting that will change how it works that I know of.
