Changes

- More QRF vehicles — Enemy reinforcements now bring more technicals and trucks (up to 3 if you have vehicles nearby)

- Longer QRF hold — After a sector fight kicks off Phase 2, you have 15 minutes to finish it (was 10)

- QRF stays on the road — Reinforcement vehicles drive the road into town instead of cutting through compounds and buildings

- QRF squads arrive in waves instead of dumping everyone on the map at once

- Civilian traffic pauses during a Phase 2 fight so the AO stays focused on the assault

- Helicopter patrols fly smoother

- Shot-down patrol helicopters take 15 minutes to come back (was 5)

- Checkpoint clear radio: "[Name] has been cleared and removed from the AO."
- Added the ability to enable/disable friendly ambient traffic from the admin box

Fixes

- Server hitching — Capture fights, QRF arrivals, and helicopter patrols are much lighter on the server, so big AOs should stutter less

- AI hopping out of vehicles — Enemy crews stay seated instead of bailing on arrival or when the vehicle stops

- Empty cargo seats — QRF and convoy vehicles now fill remaining passenger seats when the vehicle allows it

- Convoy wipe on spawn — Convoys were deleting their own crews before they finished boarding. That prune is gone, so they leave fully manned

- Counterattack Adjustments — Counterattacks will not hit the same target consecutively
