I'd say maybe 50%. Remember: its not just the elephants who may panic: the humans might do so after finding out how hard it is to slay their opponents (unlike elephants, which would trample now and (if human) ask questions later. Or Hannibal may withdraw in order to mass up more men and elephants to confront the threat (a tactical retreat). Like I've written, war elephants stood their ground when confronted by roaring armies, mass moans of the dead, dying, and wished they where dead, of dead bodies moving due to being stripped of their belongings, blood and gore and decay, which is not dissimilar from the atmosphere of a Zombie horde on the prowl (moans, dead, blood, gore, large numbers, etc)
