Basically it is all summarized by Klaus in this video:
I've got myself literally the same situation happen in my first game today.
The reply to my report from WG support is as follows:

Greetings WaterMeloncholy,
Thank you for contacting Player Support and letting us know about such suspicion.
Please keep in mind that we do not manually punish players using forbidden modifications, our automatic system is taking care of this. It operates in waves that we announce on our portal, like this one:
We always try to maintain a positive environment in our game so all our players truly enjoy their gaming experience, so we assure you that the cheaters will be dealt with, sooner or later, and that the system is being improved constantly.
Thank you for your understanding and for caring about fair play.
If you have any other questions, please remember that we remain at your disposal.
Best regards,

I just don't understand what "automatic system" they're referring to. Is this ingame reporting system? Everyone knows that it is just placebo that is completely useless. Their system might also be able to detect illegal mods, but obviously platoon rigging needs to be investigated by a human, not an algorithm.
Also, for some reason these encounters are getting more and more common causing me to have shitty games as the one I linked***. It is sure as fuck obvious that once in a two years ban wave is completely useless for this kind of behavior. Especially since the article they linked only concerns competitive play (ranked, CWs). Does it mean that randoms are Wild West now where we can do whatever the fuck we want?
It's super frustrating that WG dingles these high prestige achievments in front of us (MoE, missions, having high ratings for leaderboards) as a motivation to play the game on top level, but then completely ignores absolutely shameless rigging of the system that not only increases the expectations for these, but also straight up ruins games if you happen to be in the game with these idiots.
Can we get some response from the community managers on this? I feel completely demotivated to try going for harder achievments when this shit is going on.
Also, it's really disappointing how cold and reserved the response from the CCs is just because it was pointed out by Quickybaby first. You guys told us to report this to WG and stop buying into the hysteria just because you don't like QB (and that "it has been happening for years so its okay" is part of your argument too). I don't like him either, but it is clear WG is completely uninterested to start solving this and the problem has only gotten worse recently.
Tldr – WG won't ban these guys as they only ban people for cheating / rigging in waves and these only concern the competitive game modes (ranked, CW) and happen once every few years. Does this mean we can start rigging too for free? Please respond WG
**case being that the platoon that is getting farmed focuses anyone else other than the guy who is getting boosted – as in my case, IS-7 focused me instead of the T57 so I didn't get to cleanup. The same with the first IS-7 who turned his armour so that the unloading T57 could farm him but I couldn't. Sorry for my hysteria in the in-game chat, but I just wanted these guys to piss their pants.*
