Platoon play takes some practice to be effective.
Communication among platoonmates are crucial for the success of the platoon.

Typically, I like to participate in platoon play with compensating vehicles types vs same or similar vehicle.
Lower tier (tier 3 premium) LT platoon with (tier 4/5) TD or SPG, LT scout out at choke point allow TD or SPG to provide direct/damaging fire without getting spotted.

Platoon of three (Russian) MTs with similar speed/bouncy turret armor, would move together in same sector of map, "wolfpack" and flank heavy armored enemy vehicle that has been singled out without enemy team support.

HT with troll armor platoon with glass cannon TD to hold choke point with solid cover during reloads.

Success of platoon highly depended on how well participants communicate with each other, coordinate advancement sector, designate target, reload time remaining, etc... effective platoon can easily turn the tide of battle, even as low tier tanks in battle.
