The problem I have with this is that for a tank what you are looking for is already covered by the entrenching option, which models the whole affair much more realistically than the class 0 does, such as the tank being able to leave the position etc..

I would say that depends. Buried tanks aren't going anywhere, and so entrenching there would give an unrealistic option. Also, a lot of seriously dug in positions have very limited ways of getting in and out, and are meant to be static positions (see revetments for AFVs in firebases in Vietnam), so being able to leave by moving in any which way is similarly inaccurate. In a prebuilt scenario, you could of course use terrain management to make this more realistic.
On the matter, what kind of protection is actually afforded when you entrench and get the little sandbag wall icon around the tank? Does it get HEAT armor? Extra armor? Reduced critical hit chance? Is that in the manual (I'm at work, so I can't check ATM)?
