Unfortunately I don't think you will see an amphibious mass production tank for a while from the major tank companies. It is very difficult to seal, has electronics that don't like to be sealed (speaker, gearboxes, IR, etc), and more. As much as I like the idea I can understand why from a manufacturing point why there aren't too many out there atm. Anything that goes in the water isn't fun to sell either from experience.
