The current stress mechanic with tanks vs AA vehicles and similar systems is far too extreme. In most of the battles I have done so far, I have seen both enemy and friendly vehicles routinely forced to flee due to AA fire. I have seen armies of flak vehicles routinely route large tank forces just by spraying them down with 20mm.
The stress system makes a certain amount of sense when tanks are hit by non-penetrating fire from artillery or AT guns etc. These weapons might pose a certain amount of risk, and depending on the situation, the tank might decide to fall back if it feels the threat is too high.
20-30mm AA fire is not, generally speaking, a threat to tanks. Especially at ranges in excess of 100m. You might track a tank with it, or knock out the gun barrel etc. But It makes little sense for a tank to flee in abject terror every time they get hit by it.

The current effect is simply too strong. Needs to be toned down significantly with regards to heavy armor.
