I could imagine!
By any chance, do you know what was the explosive fill for a standard 8" round?

Couldn't they rig a job like Cold-War T-72s and T-80/T-99s? Just hook up 2 barrels of fuel on the back of the tank with a jettison button. Wouldn't that make more sense than fuel bladders? At least the barrels would be harder to penetrate. Use JP-8 like they do now, and the crew would be safe if they were buttoned up inside the tank.

Bladders are 'safer' BR, because they are self sealing(at least until they get shot 100's of times).

No idea how much explosive filler is in an 8"...but the shell is about a couple hundred pounds if i remember correctly.

Sort of like the fuel tanks on the A-10, right?
