Tanks were indestructible in all the previous versions, I doubt it changed in the latest one.

My strategy for dealing with tanks when I mistakenly allowed them into my base was to intimidate my way past them. It is surprising how effective that was.

Other than to screw with the SWAT teams by sending them into a blazing inferno, showing them where they will go for being too conservative after they die? (By this I mean the pits of course)

I think it's also possible to recruit tanks, at least in previous releases. Guitars maybe?

They are not affected by guitars

I have absolutely no idea what's going on in this fort any more. Migrants arrive, they die for some reason, the fort is flooded for another reason, then dwarves go mad, more dwarves die and I'm just laughing in my distress.

Tanks ONCE were able to be recruited after you "liberalize" them by using guitars, but now if you try to talk to them, their turret will shake their head side to side. It's possible that the game may also prevent guitars from being used (to "liberalize" tanks at least).

Yeah, it's one of the semi-hidden features of the game. Like Arch-Conservative units persuading your units, you can persuade Conservatives with a guitar and the Music skill.

If it scares people into posting, then yes.

If they end up lynched because they didn't post, oh well. Too bad for them. Maybe they should've tried posting.

I can specifically remember destroying the hell out of tanks with my swordfighting liberals. I remember this because it was amazing.

Related but slightly off-topic question: where do you get recruits that start out with some measure of Sword skill?

Yeah, swords are one of the best weapons, period.

I think sword skill is a random pick.

I heard swords were pretty amazing, but never actually tried them. I guess I'll have to make my ninja squad use swords now. I mean, honestly their all in ninja suits anyway, why the hell not.

I suspect you've never tried doing many illegal things yet in your game. The second the CCS knows you're "active", they'll come down on you like the hammer of God.

I plan on infiltrating the military base in a ninja suit.
I already did it with Army body armor, heh
