What do you think about a new move class especially for unreliable tanks to add a certain breakdown chance for them (I guess breakdown chances are also connected with move class; infantry never get stucked in mud or hedgerows...)?
This could represent such AFV`s as Panther D, Tiger I and II, Ferdinand/Elefant, Jagdtiger, T-34/76 M1940, KV-1 and 2, T-35, early Churchill, Convenanter, Crusader, all "prototype" and what-if tanks etc. which were for some reason or another very prone to breakdowns (actually quite a lot of them were only lost because of that).
My suggestion is that this move class should have a very small base chance for getting immobilised in EVERY hex (also on road, clear, field and trees), that this base chance increases a little bit when they spend more than half of their movement points and is much higher when a tank moves at full speed (maybe 0-5% base chance, 5-7% when spending more than half of MP and 8-15% when going full speed). So you have to be more cautious with this tanks and still there is a chance they can break down at times.

Which might work for a human player that has "read the instructions" - but certainly wont work for the AI which will either have to be coded so it has little or no chance of the bad effect happening or it will disable itself.

It's one of those things that many players simply wont like happening to them, so it would require an option defaulted to OFF and only 1-2% of "die-hard realists" might use it. So unlikely to happen.
