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?
Only if you're trying to prepare an unforgettable luncheon and are within view of the Aurora Borealis. /ncd
The water would heat up and boil slowly and eventually if there was a fire occuring on the outside of the tank.
If it is hit in an area which causes the tank's armaments to explode into the crew cabin then yes you would have a Russian Instant Pot...
You can pee wherever/whenever you want.
Correction: you can no longer drink the water.

can drink the water
As a tank maintainer, this is the least credible part of the post.
Is it though? Technically, they can drink the water, but nobody said it would be a good experience to do so
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.
I can’t wait to join the Army Diver Armored Division.
Maybe it's a navy tank?

Give me a ping, Vasili. One ping only, please.
Water doesn’t compress. The tank operators don’t need their internal organs, right?
Just leave the hatch open a little bit.
Throw on a few water hammer arrestors from the hardware store, problem solved.
Isn't that good? It sounds like it's creating a shield? I'm pretty sure I'm right, I say ship it.
Let's not get bogged down in details, alright? We can work out the smaller kinks over time.
We don't need emotional support fish, we need tank operator fish
One bullet hits the body and the crew goes deaf.
Do they make those for lungs?
Lungplugs
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.
Stand aside Pierre Sprey!

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?
Because water doesn't compress it transfers any shockwaves straight through anybody who is in the water. This happens much faster than the water has time to move out of the way.
Sailors who are in the water after abandoning ship during naval battles are in extreme danger of dying if a bomb goes off close by.
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.
