Even they are watertight, no tank in the 1940s was airtight.  The superheated air wouldn't just make the metal box a bit toasty, it'd be like being in burning building, you'd die from asphyxiation.

Not to mention, y'know, Japanese tanks.  It'd probably set the fuel lines on fire or something.

They were absolute death traps. Riveted armor, single-operator turret, poor sloping, high profile... and at least in the type I got inside, no bulkhead between the engine and the crew compartment. That's right! Big, hot, loud diesel motor right behind you in a tin can on some tropical island. The crews probably suffered heat exhaustion just sitting at idle.

No, I don't have a reference at the moment but I read Flyboys, and it talked about this. Also, it's not fiction, it's about a squad of American fighterpilots who get shot down and imprisoned.

If there's one thing the COD series is good at, its a cinematic moment. Unfortunately I hold the current games in nothing but contempt.
