Online
More network fixes! Keep those logs coming!
Fixed permissions for some of the Lobby UI.
A team will no longer turn all one colour after a skirmish/multiplayer match is over if the team colour is selected.

Commonwealth Priest Overwatch Barrage now uses the same mini-map and tactical-map icon as the standard Howitzer version of the Overwatch Barrage ability.
Commonwealth Command Tank Creeping Smoke Barrage will now indicate ability range on the mini-map.
Riflemen will now be affected by Rapid Response

All Tank Main Guns will now have an equal chance to target the crew of a Towed AT Gun as they do of targeting the AT Gun directly. Prior to this they would consistently choose the AT Gun itself as the main target, dramatically reducing the life expectancy of the AT Gun in a head-to-head confrontation with a Tank. Tank Guns that prefer infantry in general (Ostwind Flakpanzer, 20mm cannons, etc.) will still prefer to fire at the Infantry rather than the AT Gun itself.
