There's a few things you can do:

1. Crew/Equipment stuff

Get your crews trained to 100% (To increase view range), and train the camoflauge skill so the enemy similarly will struggle to spot YOU

Camo net and camoflauge paint will also help you hide your tank better further reducing the enemy's ability to spot you

You can mount binoculars and/or Coated optics to increase your view range to spot the enemy from a further distance

2. Play medium tanks

Medium tanks all have decent camo and/or great view range. The American Pattons have the best view ranges for their tiers, and the Soviet mediums are fast little ninjas

3. Play Soviet tank destroyers

Soviet tank destroyers have notoriously high camoflauge values to the point where you can be right in the front of enemy, and they will not see you

4. Kemp bushes

Bushes will increase your camo value, thus making you harder to spot. Just be sure that ypu are hiding BEHIND the bush, and not IN it, or it will not help you. And it must cover the ENTIRE tank excluding the gun. Also when you fire, all bushes within 15 meters of you lose their camo bonus, so beware

 

Lastly note that moving reduces your camo value by 50% (excluding light tanks), and firing decreases it to nearly 0.

Sounds like a serious case of noobitis......

 

 

 

 

 

jokes maybe 100% your crew or get optics/binocs

OP judging by your stats you don't have a good understanding of the mechanics of this game, even after 8000 games.

It's not a bug. It's a feature.

Iam having this very same problem. Tanks appear out of nowhere and they shoot me. I will be tracking a tank across the field and they will disappear right in front of me. It is frustrating beyond belief. One game in particular I was being pegged by another of the same tank from across the field. Well beyond the range of optics and so on. I wasn't moving moving. Either there is a hack that everyone is using or a fatal flaw in the new camo. Of course if history repeats they will say, "software behaving properly."

I'm not the smartest cat in the world, ( Shaddup!) but I was sniping in my Jpanther today and

zeroed in on an enemy. Fired! Hit! Then enemy disappeared. I knew what to do, I stayed locked on that position

and fired again, same spot, empty spot. KILL!

There IS a difference between camo, view ranges, etc. and actually having a BUG in the game; I do believe there are some bugs that cause tanks to disappear; I've seen an enemy tank driving toward a hill or building or some other visual obstruction, and I'm ready for him to appear on the other side of the obstruction, and then he doesn't; until a good second or so later when he has turned the corner and is now facing me.  It seems to me that if he's in range before the obstruction, he should be in range after it as well.

That is the best kind of kill in the game.  

 

Only kind better is you see a far away tree get knocked over, you shoot at an empty spot nearby, and you kill an enemy tank.

The game's spotting checks aren't calculated continuously. There is a one or two second delay between each check.  It's described in the spotting mechanics wiki page for WOT:

It's silly.  You see a tank very close to you, like a few dozen feet away.  Then it just disappears.  Then it reappears.  People can say what they will, but its simply bogus and broken.
