I don't have a funny description.
Really, my grandad served in the Soviet Army 31-st tank division, and I know it ain't easy at all.
But, see, it can be fun too:

If you thought being a TANKER in... RUSSIA... is... easy...

Russian war movies are usually worth a look. One tanker flick called T-34 was excellent. AA
I loved T-34. It's a great film. I've watched it 3-4 times. If you do a search on Amazon prime look for the Director's Cut. It's got a few extra scenes than the default version.
If you like reading horror/syfy, look for a 80s paperback called Panzer Spirit. A long-forgotten Panzer tank, made with elven metal, comes back to life. A mindless, but fun, read.

From what I understand, the T-34 was not designed with the comfort of the users in mind. I don't think it was intentionally designed as a torture device for those inside, but it's not far off. In the spring and fall it was bad enough. In the summer it was also an unventilated sweatbox. In the winter ... it's an uninsulated, unheated metal box ...
Unlike Hollywood tank films, the Russians did not make the T-34 look comfy in the film, especially when shells hit and everyone inside got their bell rung.
