Using water is a waste of space and weight.

Tanks are thirsty boys, so we use diesel fuel instead. Same ballistic benefit and drastically increased range.

I remember hearing about an APC where they were experimenting putting diesel in the hull as extra armor to reduce weight. The base idea works pretty damn well, until you realize the vehicle is going to go up in flames anytime it is shot with something more than a rifle.

diesel is nonflammable under normal atmospheric pressure

Too bad high explosives create nonatmospheric pressures?

Shockwaves carry more force in water. The pressure-differential would collapse your lungs and possibly give you a brain hemorrhage.

To the point that the actual submariner response to a hostile diver is one ping of active sonar. Which hits like an explosion.

Which is why I got so pissed when I told my dad that active sonar was bad for the whales and he suggested that they just put their hands over their ears. Gosh Dad, you don't understand anything!! Whales can't put their hands over their lungs!!

Whales can straight up kill you the same way. They don't because they know to keep their voices down. Friggin' magic, man.

if you think about it a little bit, hit your head a couple of times and blend the neutrons in your brain, you can kind of imagine a water filled tank as a world submarine

so obvs its best attack would be imploding on itself
