In the modern world Nerve Gas is a definate no-no, but modern tanks are 
still (and will be for the forseeable future) equipped with 
overpressure systems.  Once you get EMP projectors to the point where 
they do more damage than you would achieve by dropping the generator on 
someone (the current state of the art--loading the generator necessary 
onto a catapult and hurling it at the enemy has more effect than firing 
the weapon) you will get hardening.  A certain amount of hardening is 
possible and is done in installations intended to survive nuclear 
attack.
