A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

I know this is non credible defense, but I would absolutely LOVE a breakdown of all the ways this is a terrible idea
It might unironically be a good idea except for the increased weight. Also shockwaves from impacts.
Yeh the shockwaves would just transition perfectly into the crews bodies and turn them into paste.
My first thought is the crew would be cooked alive
Yeah I thought so too. Besides that, Oxygen running out would be a problem, and perhaps reliability of diving equipment.
And every operator would need a full one diving suit too, increasing production and maintenance cost.
Perhaps the tank would rust?
More fuel needed.
Electronics would need to be waterproof, otherwise they short circuit, breaking and perhaps harmin the crew.
I mean the first issue seems easy to solve just put a tube to the outside for all crewmembers and you never run out of oxygen
First rule: don't put your dick in the air tube
Diving suit... Neon Genesis?
This was the comment I was looking for! Thank you!

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.
In the desert, bees swarm water.
Water isn't clean enough to make a cup of tea with
An essential piece of kit. "We were surprised to find a kettle inside the tank to brew tea"
After a while, the water inside the tank is human tea.
Any shockwave from firing a shell/active armor/taking a hit would reverberate through the cabin and crush the occupants, not dissimilar to what a grenade does to anyone nearby in a body of water
Yeah, I remember when Myth Busters tested "shooting fish in a barrel" they found that even if your bullet doesn't hit a fish that the shockwave will kill them all lol.
Let me introduce you to Mr Newton. Specifically:
F = m*a
To accelerate on a flat terrain (nevermind a slope) you need to apply tractive force proportional to your mass. Water does add a lot of mass.
