Speculative fix for a replication issue in the Deploy Menu where certain squads and/or members within a particular squad would not load in and remain hidden, especially under poor performance conditions

FOBs now take 4 rockets to be destroyed, dig down speed is doubled, and build speed has been reduced slightly
Rally Point overrun radius doubled to 35m

Eliminated most rubberbanding issues when vaulting obstacles in multiplayer under average to poor networking conditions

Landscape and Foliage edits to fill gaps and created several new paths

Fixed rubberbanding issues in multiplayer with throwables such as grenades via implementation of robust network prediction & lag compensation mechanisms for projectiles
Fixed desync issues with grenade trajectories on the client, where a grenade projectile appears to land in a particular spot from the client's viewpoint, only for it to suddenly end up somewhere else upon the projectile exploding on the server
Fixed issue where duplicate projectiles and/or impact FX were being spawned on the client after a frametime spike or under poor network conditions
Fixed an issue where a player could fire a projectile, switch teams while the projectile was still in flight or otherwise unexploded, and damage their previous teammates with it despite Friendly Fire being turned off

Implemented vehicle recycling system that cleans up abandoned vehicles based on configured criteria
