National ships balance/frequency

[Preble]

So I've noticed something on PvE USA, playing as the Americans working south along the coast of Georgia and Florida:

Constitution, Essex, Rattlesnake, and Niagara are American ships, all used extremely rarely by the American AI (except occasionally in fleets), but used extensively by the British, French, and Spanish (especially the latter three).

Trincomalee is a British ship, that seems to be used to some degree by the British AI but used extensively by the Americans, French, and Spanish.

Rennommee and Belle Poule are French ships, used to some degree by the French but used extensively by the British, Americans, and Spanish.

 

Would it be possible to adjust the frequency by which the ships appear for each country so that the AI is predisposed to have its own nation's ships (not that foreign designs weren't used frequently by other countries, but this is maybe a bit skewed right now)?  And as more designs are introduced that are approximate equivalents for each country, perhaps we could start placing certain restrictions on what countries can build certain ships based on what was possessed historically (ex: HMS Indefatigable, HMS Endymion, and HMS Leander/Acasta for British heavy frigates equivalent to USS Constitution; the Hebe class for a French 18-pounder frigate equivalent to HMS Trincomalee, etc.)?

 

Thanks and cheers to all.

agreed, indeed. Plus, seeing 20x Santis, 20x Vics, 20x Pavels. 20x Bellonas, all in the same fleet is quite ridiculous. Especially if they're just sailing into random ports and randomly spawning in other nation's ports. Makes no sense. I'd also like to see them as each individual ship in OW and not one ship for an entire fleet. Maybe AI should be sailing only their nation's ships.
