How do I report a PC cheat on PS4 crossplay?

I was going through the painful process of completing the 10 ranking matches.

Gave up after the first one (we were Republic)  as there was a pilot playing PC for the other side in a TIE/In who was level 725 but was untraceable for THE ENTIRE GAME. No matter how you chose to cycle your targets, etc. Even double-tapping x didn't work.

I managed to video each time he killed me, then video captured myself scrolling through the enemy squadron and guess who would never show up? I'm not the best player in the world, but I am not that bad.

All recorded, all evidenced, [Edit - Admin.] something-or-other your time is up.

What troubles me is that I've heard about PC cheats for years - ever since BF1 - but as a console player (one of the reasons I chose to play on console) I've never encountered it before. I see countless complaints on these fora and yet there seems to be little to no engagement by the EA community manager or any kind.

I know I can turn off cross-play, but I play PvP more than AI and this will just make me quit the latest Campaign without trying. I wonder what the point of the data you collect for ranked battles is. Clearly if you are continuing to let cheating players flourish, then the ranked FB section of your game is not fit for purpose.

Please let me know how I report this. Thank you

    @EA_Barry Hey, Barry, is there a place where I can report somebody who uses an X-Wing loadout with 2 concussion missiles, or is that something that's going to be fixed in the future? I'm starting to see it more often.

    @phyrebratScrew that name the exploiters. The fact that you would even suggest not just shows that you support Cheating/Exploitations. Name/shaming is not ok but cheating and exploiting is perfectly fine. WTAF

    @phyrebratsome players do fly with sensor and radar jamming at the same time. He was probably flying with both to make him untraceable. But it comes at the expense of something and chances are he had to sacrifice a secondary that might had been more useful. Different players bring different loadouts. I don't think the guy was hacking.

    This is possible to do without cheating because Reflec hull exists in addition to the jammer. It's even more egregious on Yavin because clouds can be used to the same effect.
