HOW TF DO I AIM through walls/obstacles?
Why every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time I try to shoot an enemy behind a wall or another small obstacle I have to shoot blank and die because I find out that my gun barrel have a massive erection and never points where I want it to aim?
Just asking...

Depends how you're aiming. If you're trying to shoot a tank through a wall in Thrid Person, you'll have to keep in mind that your gun is going to follow your mouse lead. I screw that up plenty myself because I don't position my mouse aim correctly when I try to peak using third person POV.

You your binoculars and while in them hold your fire button and it will go to where you are aiming with the binos and then switch to gun sight and fire

This^

Also when you aim third person use the second larger cirle and place on the target or best you can then fire. But personally I use the method described above.

Tried this tons of times... Still have my cannon pointing at the planes up the sky.

Try switching directly from the Binoculars to the gunner sight (also known as sniper sight). If you think that the cannon is still aiming high, lower it on the gunner sight to an estimated level where you think it'd hit the enemy. It's better to aim for a crew compartment or side of a turret if you are able to hit such spots. If the enemy does not go down on the first shot, depending on your shot hitting or missing and the tank models, you may or may not have a second chance. Since your aim deviation gets worse the closer you are to a destructible wall/obstacle, I'd recommend to take the object down before an enemy appears to have a clear line of sight (especially if you are using chemical shells such as HEAT or HESH, as these can detonate before hitting the enemy when coming in contact with an obstacle, thus making no damage at all and only giving your position away). That or avoiding obstacle-filled approaches that can seriously hinder your chances of success.
