How do you angle your armor?
Never works for me. In world of tanks it works but in this game I still get one tapped by everything.

In RB / SB - best armour, don't get hit. WoT angles don't work. try 10 to 15 deg if you have to be brave, side scraping, hard cover, hull down. Never silhouette yourself on hills.

if you can line some foliage around you, you can just hide and snipe enemy tanks

You can easily angel your armor and it does work, pretty well too
there is one problem though, most players rush APBC shells, and they are designed to penetrate armor at angle, but, they are still limited, you just cant use dimond position against those shells that is all. So:
1. use picking strategy so that the enemy will only see your turret, which have the best armor and the best slopes
2. hide your frontal\rear armor behind solid obsticles suck as rocks, walls, building

yeah but it hurts to play ULQ
I was forced to back when I first started in 2016, and it hurts your eyes, the models look terrible, the sharpness of all edges and even things that shouldn't have edges actually hurts your brain. it feels disgusting to play,
I do not envy ULQ players

You can actually play with Protection Analysis(the button in the Armor viewing mode) for a bit to check what can rekt your tank btw, the general idea was also cover your weakness with terrains when possible. This is what I know anyway, because I too always got one tapped every rounds ;-;

Angling doesn't mean you're invincible.

First thing Is don't get shot at second get the first shot In dis able his main gun then finish him off.

Huh... it's the other way round for me. In WoT angling never worked for most vehicles because people just dabbed the 2 key.
Angling depends on the Tank itself.
The Thickness, the shape, is it slope or flat, etc etc
How you angle the tank for Shots to Bounce, the Enemy Tank how effective is their gun and their ammo type and penetration, will it Non-Pen or bounce or just hit but no actual damage.
There is so many Factors.
