Talking World of Tanks: Am I cursed with AC46 French TD?

To those that don't know, I play World of Tanks. It's a shooter that can be played in first person or third person. I guess it count as a MOBA, but not in the same type you see in DOTA 2 or LoL. I also have a youtube channel I won't bother linking for now.

For the last couple of weeks, I put up a video doing a general commentary and overview of a French Tank Destroyer called the AC46. Usually a video like that would also include replays showing a replay or 2. But my recent results with the tank have been absolutely atrocious. Here's a number of reasons why I personally think I am cursed with this tank.

• Poor game-play by a number of factors. Probably most prevalent is that I absolutely underperform or constantly fail to use this tank.
• Bad RNG (random number generation) luck. Basically means values of whenever I shoot or get shot at eventually turn against me. Meaning I can shoot a tank who I am usually certain my shells will penetrate their through armor and damage them, but I end up bouncing and doing nothing. Or worse, horrible aiming RNG. Even accuracy of a gun has a bit of RNG factored into it. This seems to be one of the biggest issues of RNG I have with this vehicle for the past couple of weeks.
• Poor survivability. It doesn't help the 2 massive tumors at the top of the tank are very easy weakspots that offer lower armor than the standard frontal glacis plate the AC46 has. So most people just aim for either tumor, fire their gun and easy damage. 
• Compared to other Tier 7 Tank Destroyers, outside maybe the T25/2, it's just awful. To be fair to the T25/2, it's basically poorer higher health version of a Hellcat. The AC46 (my own AC46) can get penetrated from a Tier5 light tank across the map, or is arty bait, or countless of other frustrating things.
• Currently my AC46 has all the highest upgraded modules on it, the 100MM gun, the second set of tracks, radio, and engine. I have a Medium Caliber Gun Tank Rammer, a Camo Net, and an Enhanced Gun Laying Drive, these 3 items decreases reloading time, aim time, and when immobile increases it's camouflage value so it can hide easier for ambushes. Having said that, my AC46 still under-performs horridly.
• I won't even blame bad teams on this tank. I can have good teams and I still can barely do 1000 damage (or on average under 4 penetrating damaging hits). I can have awful teams and die before my team gets overwhelmed or outright crushed. So no use in blaming bad players, easier to blame myself. 
• But honestly, I feel like blaming the tank instead. I currently have 2 Tier 7 Tank Destroyers. This AC46 and the Russian Premium SU-122-44. For all intents and purposes, both can be compared since they have quite a lot of similariites. Both have the same shape/size, as with the T25 AT(not T25/2), and the Jagdpanther. Their guns are relatively inaccurate but do good damage with a reasonable reload time. Both have good movement speed when going in a straight line as both can reach up to 50km/h. Both have good camouflague values, but the SU-122-44 probably has better camo values overall since it's much shorter in overall height compared to the seemingly tall AC46.
• What does the AC46 better? I believe it has a slightly higher view range, it's top gun (100MM) has much better overall penetration values and seemingly better accuracy and aim time. But in my opinion, the SU-122-44's accuracy and aim time - while statistically worse. Feels much better. I can fire a shot at long range (400meters or more) with my SU-122-44 and a decent chance I will hit the target even if it doesn't penetrate. Yet the AC46 feels far more unreliable despite the hard coded stats show it to be far more favored.
• The SU-122-44 has better defensive capabilities too due to it's much smaller profile, it's faster traverse speed enabling it to turn tail and run much quicker than the AC46, it's armor is 30mm less thicker, but it's sloped better allowing shots to bounce off easier. There's also no real frontal weak spots on the SU-122-44 unlike the AC46 which has 2 massive tumors at the top of it. Those tumors just scream SHOOT ME!
• A few hard stats to compare SU-122-44 and AC46 (100MM gun):

1. AC46 average penetration:  232/263/50. SU-122-44 average penetration: 175/217/64
2. AC46 Gun Accuracy at 100meters: 0.34, 2.9sec aiming time. SU-122-44 Gun Accuracy: 0.41, 2.9 second aiming time
3. AC46 average damage per shot: 300. SU-122-44 average damage per shot: 390.
4. AC46 shots per minute: 6. SU-122-44 shots per minute: 7.5
5. AC46 armor thickness and slope: 120mm, slope uncertain but I assume at least 47 degrees. SU-122-44 armor thickness: 90mm, slope uncertain, possibly 50 degrees or more.
6. AC46 Tread Traverse: 26 degrees per sec. SU-122-44 Tread Traverse: 42 degrees per sec.

The more I play my AC46, the more I hate playing World of Tanks - which can be unhealthy. I enjoy this game very much. I'm seriously considering just coughing up some money to buy gold, and using Free XP to just unlock AC48 (the Tier 8 French TD) which doesn't have tumors that large, has a much more bouncier and thicker sloped frontal glacis (I've bounced shots with the ISU-152's BL10 to an AC48's front, aiming down at it too from an elevated slope, so the angle was more in my favor for increased penetration chance).

In conclusion. I really am having a very bad time with the AC46, my win-rate with it is surprisingly good overall of 56%. But my experience in playing with it especially these past 2 weeks have been a horrible nightmare. It's gotten to the point I don't even want to play the thing, but I do want to get a few good rounds played so I can record it and put it in my youtube channel as I originally promised, but I may just forego that altogether and skip this pile of crap and go for the seemingly more reasonable AC48, I don't hear anyone complain about the AC48, but then again I don't see anyone complain about the AC46 either. Maybe my luck will change if I go to the 48, or worst case scenario, it carries over from 46 to 48 or somehow gets worse (which I seriously doubt).
