Right.
The giant hull flags are accurate (see images below), and in fact i toned it down a little bit. Some neutral ships had flags and stripes covering the entire hull. By the end of the war, some Swedish ships were almost 100% blue and yellow on the sides, with lights and huge wooden flags erected on top of the deckhouse.
If you install the skin packs based on the time indicated, hull flags disappear as countries join the Allies (no American hull flags after early 1942, for example).
