SOME INTERESTING DATA
Last turn, Hiram Sedai's tanks inflicted a non-damaging hit on my Panthers turret front and it slammed into reverse (below) I never ordered it to, so obviously the thump on its turret must have given the crew the heeby-jeebies.
They're firing back but the shot hits the wall. (note also tracer rattling off the wall)
A scrutiny of its stats reveal why it reversed, namely they're only a green crew, they're out of command, they're 'Rattled', and their suppression inverted vee is starting to turn a funny rainbow colour.
We also see that its radio, optics and tracks are starting to turn a sickly yellow in its 'Damage' panel. but still working.
So why is he out of command?
This look at the HQ tank (circled) reveals why; namely its radio is bust (red x), so he can't give them any soothing words of fatherly advice to stop them cracking up!
Note too that one of the blue crew dots in the silhouette panel has turned gray, meaning that position is no longer occupied, so maybe it was the radio operator who copped it in combat earlier in the game-
Pos. The thing you refer to as 'their morale vee' is actually the suppression indicator. The more they are fired upon the more it lights up.
Thanx mate, i've edited in a correction
