I think you’re discounting the heat already being generated even without the water. Water is a good conductor of heat, so if there are any hotspots the crew normally just stays away from, that would spread everywhere, including to the crew. The heat would also accumulate since the rest of the tank would be acting as an insulator except on the outside surfaces.
Yeah, and I’m guessing most people would prefer that energy be vented through the metal chassis into the air, not into the water they’re working in. Heat takes the path of least resistance, and if lower the resistance to entering your body, it’ll do that.

I bet it’s because there would be a lot of heat, especially when the tank’s engines need to be more powerful to move all of the added weight.

It’s also harder to heat. That’s what heat conductivity means…
