**Issue Description: Around 02:20CET 4 January, on server 100014 I placed 4 armed humvees and one US construction truck in the middle of them, all vehicles in a line along the road.
I spawned different two-man US squads, and I set one squad in every vehicle. I then marked all units and had them "Move" to another road quite far away. I estimate it to be around the same distance as between Provins - Coastal Base Morton.

The AI started driving but quickly crashed into eachother after starting their engines. At this point I noticed that their engine sounds suddenly remained extremely constant and all the animations (Vehicle physics, turning, character movements in vehicle) were frozen in place. I could navigate the GM radial menus, but nothing happened upon interacting with any buttons. I could not spawn anything or affect anything. When trying to switch to player mode, the little "eye" loading icon appeared permanently but I did not go into player mode.

Other GMs and people on the server confirmed similar issues, all starting at the same time. I left the game via pause menu and then looked at "recent " servers and saw that the server displayed "No Server Found!".
I waited a few minutes and then the server had completely disappeared from the server browser. I waited another 20 minutes to half an hour and the server still hadn't reappeared.

Note: I have had exactly this server crash happen a few days ago in another game master, when I tried spawning around 5 or 6 AI FIA BTRs and ordering them to move.**

Join an official GM server
Spawn multiple AI squads in multiple different (armed?) vehicles in a close line formation, and order them to "move" quite far. They should start hitting into each other, and then the server may freeze.

Saw the very same server was back up again, so I tried replicating it the same way but was unable to.
Possible you need to have more vehicles or a bit more progressed / filled server for it to happen.

Related, we just crashed two full helicopters (Huey transport, Mi-8 armed) into each other and the server froze completely around 1 minute after, which is a few seconds after the destroyed helis hit the ground. Server 100015

Server 100011 at around 22:25CET, 19 January.
Can happen with way less vehicles also but this is for recreation purpose. Froze pretty instantly. Left the game, saw server listed as "No server found!" and after a while it fully disappeared from browser.
Server still offline now as of around 1.6 hours later.
