Something I just thought of. Even though these tanks can be heavy the air inside will still make it slightly buoyant. I doubt it will float on its own but there will still be the effect of less weight bearing down on the tracks. Combine that with the fact that wet surfaces can be slippy and drag on the tank the tracks may not be able to move the tank while wading around in the water. You might want to consider a secondary propulsion such as a propeller mounted on the back. If you were to do that it might be worth putting a cage around it.
