Here's what you should do.

1.) When playing arty (artillery in short), you have to fully aim your shots and don't shoot poorly aimed shots.


 * Low tier artillery has very tiny splash damage.

2.) Do not ever try to shoot fast moving targets.


 * It's possible, sure, but there's only very small chances of hitting it.


 * Medium tanks do have some descent maneuverability and you should only shoot them when they're standing still. If they're slow, it'd be fairly easy to shoot them too.

3.) When you play arty, don't just press shift and start bombing people.


 * Try finding a suitable bush and/or solid cover (such as a rock or a building) first then go click and derp.


 * This will also prepare you when an enemy tank attacks - when you do so, you will already ready to fight it.

4.) Do not try to go to any face-to-face combat. Always stay near the base and stay undetected.


 * Only move if necessary, like if you need to capture the enemy base or you have to relocate to move away from enemies attacking your base.


 * Almost kinds of artillery have next to no armor to protect themselves.  There are only a few artilleries in the game that have the armor to only protect themselves from lower tier tanks.
