Any way to see tank weak spots in-game?
I keep firing 5 or so shells at someone and dealing zero damage, while they kill me in one hit. Where am i suppost to aim? Is there any way in game to see where the armour is weaker / where components are?

Find the tank in question in the tech tree, click it, click preview (or customize if you have it), use the info panel on the left (or on the button on the bottom right), click "armor" (or show armor), and you can view a tanks armor layout and find how thick it is and the effective thickness and angle of the plate.

Keep in mind different ammo types can react different to armor as well (such as APCR being terrible against sloped armor).

If you play arcade the green cross means you can pen, yellow means there's a chance of penetration, and red means no pen. I wouldn't trust them because there's some areas you can pen that are red. What tank are you using and having trouble with? Try this out: https://live.warthunder.com/post/291945/en/

And you can test out your tank vs tanks that'll stay still and won't fire back, and find out weakspots for battle.

Another reason you shouldn't completely rely on it is that guns aren't 100% accurate and for sure hit right where you aim, especially at longer ranges.
