Armoured combat does seem to have a lot of chance and random events, although as Joonny said, a lot depends on their quality.

If a tank can see what shooting at it and thinks that it has a fair chance of being knocked out it will often go, 'Sod this!' and take evasive action.

If it can see what's shooting at it but thinks that it has a good chance of knocking the target out without being knocked out itself, it will often stand it's ground regardless how many hits it's taking.

If it can see what's shooting and the odds are fairly even, well, place your bets as to what it will do.

If however, it can't see what's shooting it normally just stands there and takes it; as how can you take evasive action when you don't know where the fire coming from? Also i've found that it more likey that the crew will bail in these curcumstances.

And no, you can't recrew anything in CM be it vehicles, guns, or support weapons once they've been abandoned.
