A dilemma with naval craft

[WBWilder]

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?

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.

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.
