I haven't modeled it in miniature hills, mostly because I have
manufactured
hills, SG2 doesn't have it built in (though it's an excellent idea for a
scenario), and I just never thought of it.

As for game systems that model it, yes, Phoenix Command Mechanized had
rules
for vehicles climbing or crossing slopes based on the angle of the
slope.
Depending on variables, including weather, a tank could slip down the
slope
or, in the worst case, flip over. I wouldn't imagine a tank would handle
rolling over very well, even if it landed tracks down (for one thing,
damaging
the barrel would be a nasty possibility).
