I've had instances where my men don't return fire. Enemy flamethrower just killed 2 of my flame throwers where mine didn't even fire back when the enemy was 2ft away. I had a full rifle squad that didn't fire on his flamethrower too. They only finally killed him when I manually clicked to attack it. It was definitely in range and I could see it clearly on the map, yet my rifles didn't fire. This makes me think he perhaps modded his flamethrowers to be undetectable while crawling just like a scout.
Then he had a flamethrower come through to my spawn. We had a hole in our lines in the middle of the map so it probably came through there, but I searched around everywhere with a full infantry squad spread out and could not find it, but it magically appears again only when i spawn a tank. I searched very thoroughly so there is no way it could have evaded unless it was a scout.
I have 1200-1300 games and have never seen such B.S. before where someone was able to 1) completely hide a flamer at my spawn, and 2) make it so my men didn't return fire. I have lost games before but never like this. It simply smells of bullsh*t.
Player name is JaegerMathias (not sure if spelling is 100% correct).
tl;dr
I suspect that somehow the flamethrower units were altered (modded) to have the same feature as a scout unit so that it would be undetectable.
