A key factor in real life reverse slope defense is the angle of slope needs to be steep enough that the enemy tanks crossing the topographical crest cannot depress their main gun enough to target the defenders. This prevents the hull-down danger. Typically western style tank design (higher placement of gun/turret with turret crew in a turret basket floor) has more minus depression than soviet style design but I am not sure if the game reflects this.
I think a difference of more than +5/+0 in the slope design might give better results. In real life a steep climb for the enemy and a long slope for the defender works best.
