Ever have this? 15 matches tonight in my Object, my best performing vehicle. 14 losses. Every loss was a complete blowout, lost within 3 minutes. I was drinking so figured I would just pound a beer, chill, try again. But amazingly, it kept happening. I can see a close battle now and then, but killing two of their tanks and all of us dead, 14 times? There is no way I can be that bad myself. Is there such thing as a cursed tank? I think I have one now. I took my Object from an amazing win rate, survival rate, kill rate, damage per battle and in two days it went down the toilet. Never a close battle. Always a blowout within 3 minutes.
I has a sad.
Cursed tank, for real?

I know that feeling... Sometimes it takes me a million matches to get a first-victory-of-the-day for a tank, and I just don't know why I keep losing. And I hate seeing my win ratio of that tank drop for this reason.
Today I was on my KV-3 with 107 gun, and it took me like 10 games to get a victory... Firstly I got battles of tier 9 or tier 10, and I really can't do much; high tier teammates died early, and soon my turn to get killed.
But then I got a tier 6 match (El-Halluf) only to find that my teammates at base did not use cover and died quickly. Base was capped by 3 tanks when I was pushing my way to their side. And then I got tier 9 and 10 matches again, same thing happened...
And then a friendly tier 7 game (Mines), where our T20 and a Pz 3 afk'd. In the end I tried hard to finish off a SU152, and I had only 59 hp left that I could not risk finding the last M7 priest. It turned out to be a draw as time ran out, while it could be a victory if 1 of the 2 teammates did NOT afk.
Anyway, [censored] just happens.

I once lost 5 games in a row on my BDR and wondered "why does the world hate me"
I instead came to realize that the world didn't hate me, it hated the BDR.
Anyway. Yea I've had some bad losing streaks now and then. The best remedy I've found..
Change tanks! It seems like the harder you push for a win in a tank in game after game in a row.. the worse it goes.
So if I'm doin bad in my Meds or heavies or something like that. I take a break and throw a light tank out there.
If my lights are suckin on me, I move to my Shermans or something like that.

Some tanks the server just love to give you the lowest RNG (random number generated) penetration, and all kinds of bad luck and losses no matter how good or bad you do it seems D=
4 of my tanks seem to be very unlucky, of course they have their rare really good battles...
While most people seem to do very well in those tanks.
