That would be such a flex. You're driving through the desert with you tank full of water and people around you are dying of dehydration.

    When this tank gets hit by a shell:

    Why is there smoke coming out of your tank, Seymour?

    Oh ho, no! That isn't smoke, it's steam! Steam from the steamed tanks we're having! Mmm, steamed tanks!

    Wait, so a shell hits a tank and it superheats the air inside? Is that real?

    can drink the water

    As a tank maintainer, this is the least credible part of the post.

    Don’t die of spall, but die extra quick of shockwaves transmitted through water.

    Simple solution: we'll have a fishtank, but filled with air. Put it in the watertank to make the watertank mk. 2: the airwatertank tank

    Love it. Here's $5 billion dollars and a years supply of cocaine. I need these operational stat! Question, will more cocaine speed up or slow down the production? Fuck it, here's more cocaine.

    Water doesn’t compress. The tank operators don’t need their internal organs, right?

    We don't need emotional support fish, we need tank operator fish

    I'm not like an army guy, but I did get to ride around in a tank once, and based on that experience I'm in favor of this idea.

    Everything was very hot inside the tank, the water will help with that a lot.

    I know smth about this is fucking dumb, but no clue what. The added weight? The impracticality?

    Air is a compressible fluid. Water is incompressible. Energy from shock waves will be transmitted from the hull to the crew in a much more efficient fashion.

    Wait, explain that to an idiot please. Could the water pressure crush a person? It wouldn't just go up?

    Two fish are in a tank. One turns to the other and says, you man the guns and I’ll drive.

    As a fun fact, tanks were really called that way because the British didn't want the Germans to know what was being deployed in WW1 on the continental frontline.
