After the creation of Vichy several problems occur with both Free french and Vichy naval ships:
1) Free France does not have any naval base under its control, in CORE Free France ships out of fuel or oil did not return to any base to replenish. In CORE we solved this by creating a level-1 naval base in Libreville. A quick test showed vanilla suffering from the same problem.
2) The AI switch file fra_free.ai does not specify any new naval base, even if free france gets a base in Libreville, naval units won't move therin to replenish. The only bases set are those from the vanilla france AI file and these are lost to GER/VIC. Specifying those two and Libreville would solve this (maybe also add those in North Africa?). Also need to change other main FRA AI files if they are set to be loaded once game progresses. (Just a quick note: setting allied ports as bases did not work, has to be a port under your control for the AI)
3) Vichy 1936 and 1941 ai file does not specify a naval base to use. For consequences see 2)
BTW it would be nice if we could get an AI command forcing its units to rebase to a specified port. After Vichy there are lots of naval forces still showing their old naval base.
