Many of the nations in the listings have no naval craft at all. I can understand that to a point. The landlocked nations might not (though I'm sure they have bodies of water where small naval craft can, might, and perhaps were used.
So one is forced to go to other nations. That is okay but then I cannot get the flag of that nation to change.
I've tried two ways. Choosing the Allied button of course does not work. Changing the flag in the main editor menu and then purchasing does not work either.
Example. For the Egypt side, I want a patrol boat. Egypt has no naval craft that I can see. I've scrolled through the dates but nothing there under misc.
So I change to a French flag. I find a patrol boat. I buy it. I revert the flad in the main editor screen to Egypt again, but it still shows a French ID flag.
No way around this?

***Set them to captured Bill. Captured means they are now your parent nations equipment and will display the parent nations flag and use the parent nations moral and experience. When they are "Allies" they are.... well..... Allies . They are not the parent nations equipement they are somebody elses so the ID tag stays the original nation and so does the experience and moral

Finally, the artwork in this game is astounding. The amount of work that Don Goodbrand has put into this really shows. He is a great artist. But the PBR under USMC for Nam does not really look like a PBR. It seems rather generic, which is in stark contrast to the details put into other vehicles and aircraft.
Now the torpedo boats I've seen and most of the other Riverine type naval craft look great. I'm wondering about the flat bow of the ASPB, but it might look that way. I thought it had more of a pointed bow.

*****The "PBR* isn't mine. It is, I belive, work done by Zoltán Zajonskovsky and it is indeed a generic Icon meant to be used as an "all purpose" small ship Icon and was never created to specifically represent a "PBR".

And finally (again!), are there any larger naval craft in the game, such as a DD or DE? It might be nice for certain landing scenarios either for support fire or for bringing troops close into shore.

The game was intended to be land based with air assets and landing craft for beach assualts. Naval operations were never it's reason for existing and were added grudgingly and we have no plans to expand that. I know some add on OOB's have larger ships be we arn't planning on following that lead. Things like PT boats and Monitors were as large as we intended to represent in the game
