    The first issue that comes to mind is the noncompressible nature of water. If you’ve ever played in a pool and marveled at how clearly you can hear a digital watch beep all the way from the other end, you can scale this up for any pressure wave. With very unpleasant results.

      Oooh, I see what you’re saying! Yeah, that makes total sense.

      … But couldn’t they just adjust the volume of the heavy metal music all tanks are required to play be the Geneva convention so that full blast isn’t loud enough to cause hearing damage?

        IDK, does the Geneva convention cover the adjustment to pitch so the heavy metal can be faithful to the original while distorted? Source: Harry Potter and that Goblet of Fire.

          I don’t think they accounted for any of the consequences of filling a tank with water. It’s a really outdated set of rules. Like it doesn’t even have special allowances for civilian casualties when Hamas is suspected of hiding in their clothing, which is clearly anti-Semitic. It doesn’t even say it’s ok to kill some civilians if their side embarrassed you by sinking your flagship when they have no navy.
