Easily installed this mod works to correct debilitating Raas layers. This is intended to make using these deployables more effective for defence, as well as offsetting the impact of the new muzzle flashes. Alt-tabbing out of Squad during a loading screen freezes the Player (client). Most RAAS layers are just not very random, it is more that they have fog of war over the exact position of the objective but that is of little consequence if all options are basically within 200 meters of each other.

Fixed an issue with the minimap on all maps which support helicopters (using soft map boundary), the minimap appeared more dim/darker than intended. Some layers will continue to receive tweaks and improvements in the future. Capturing generally takes longer and the neutral flag capture rate variability is more obvious with 3 or fewer soldiers in the capture zone. TC v1. Squad Lanes has destroyed RAAS layer. Updated the RUS/INS/MIL BRDM Spandrel to use a new firing sound. Updated POIs: Hilltop Bunk Ruins, Train Bridge, Gas Station, Soloninki Ruins, River Fortification.
