Hold on, I'm confused.

I know possession of a ship is required to be able to change its flag (which is dumb really, but that's another discussion). But does it then not only apply your choice to your own ship, but also all other instaces of that ship? Because that's how I remember it working, but if that's true, how is OP seeing a Dutch flag if he had the Pan Euro flag selected on his own ship?

 

It's not a personal filter like you have in mods, it's built-in the game.

I know, but when that feature was announced, I remember them saying it worked like this:

• have ship in port
• select flag
• every instance of that ship (yours, allies and enemies) will now have that flag FOR YOU
• your ship is displayed to other players with the flag THEY selected

But that's incompatible with OP's experience, so either it got changed or I remember it wrong

In both cases, an answer with the truth from somebody who knows what's the deal would be appreciated

 

Edit:

Same 0.7.4 patch notes as before state

Naval Flag Seletion for Pan-Asia and the Commonwealth

Now you can choose between different Naval Flags for the ships of Pan-Asia and the Commonwealth.

 

Example If a player enters a battle with VII Gadjah Mada and selects an Indonesian Navy Flag, this player will see other destroyers of this type flying the same flag. Other representatives of the Pan-Asian tech tree will be displayed for the player in accordance with their choice for each of the ships. However, the player's choice of flag won't affect the display of the ship's flag for teammates and opponents because VII Gadjah Mada will be displayed as carrying the flag they chose for this ship in their own Port.

 

At present, it is possible to select a naval flag only for ships from multi-regional branches of the Tech Tree.

The naval flag selection option is available in the "Flags" section of the "Exterior" tab in the Port. By default, the game client will display flags that are common for the tech tree.

 

 

So I did remember correctly.... so for OP to have experienced this, that must mean the mechanic got changed at some point? Somebody remember this?

One remark. The uniforms of the dutch officers are not correct, at least not according to the ranks.

The warrant officer has no oak leaf around the anchor, just an anchor with crown. He is a non-commisioned officer.

Below commander, no oak leaf on sun cover.

The commander has one row of oak leaf on the cap sun cover.

Captain and up have double oak leaf.

You can chose the national flag in flag section, down on the bottom, at least for "pan" trees
