Agree with you. The problem with the AI using smallest sizes, only occur when you're using different weapon and sizes in your designes.

Can you or anyone else confirm that this design switching for ships only occurs several turns after the DN class is discovered? There is no switching before, e.g. between a battleship and a cruiser?
I just want to be sure because regarding units it seems that the design switching happens much earlier and much more frequently. When I equip a small WP with CSMs and my medium WPs with TKPs the AI begins immediately and quite often (every second or third turn) switching back to the small WP, it does not wait until large WPs are researched.

I'm not sure about what's the trigger...

My personal guess is that related with the Weapons.
My theory is that if you reach the max develop for a weapon, and also does exist other design with a different weapon, then, the AI will start to rotate the designes.
