What is the actual flag, in your view? The one at the start of game (white-over-red horizontal bicolor) is as far as I know the official national flag, first adopted in 1919. The one with the coat of arms (eagle on a shield) added is a marine ensign and supposedly restricted to a few specific official uses, like airports and embassies. (Not that I expect the Polish Flag Police will arrest you for displaying one outside your house on a holiday.)
Yes the bicolor flag adopted in 1919. Is there no way to play with the bicolor flag? Sanation was the historical path, but the flag and color of the country changes.

Hmm, don't special forces often fight in much smaller divisions? If so, they may be low on defense. But yes, not the most rewardiong research.
The available units get added in descending order by (soft_attack + hard_attack + defense) * org * strength. On the attacking side, breakthrough replaces defense.
Units are removed from the bottom of the list, i.e. the ones added earliest remain.
The old answer used to be that only the first unit in the reserve list can reinforce. But they changed how this works in patch 1.11.0 (the patch log says: "Fixed an issue where only the first division in the reserves list would be given a chance to reinforce").
TLDR: National ideas can apply bonuses based on the equipment's
type, so they probably wanted to get rid of unintended bonus usages. This seems to be a repetitive error for the devs, as there are a bunch of other equipment files with type infantry being commented out.type = { fighter interceptor }) with only some of them being mutually exclusive. Or anti-tank, with this brilliant developer comment:type = {
anti_tank
infantry #adding infantry type
}fighter. For ships, the carrier/capital/screen capability determines their placement in battles. There don't seem to be any equivalent mechanics for land equipment.type = { motorized } and type = { mechanized } (EDIT: wrong, see below)type of armor, motorized, mechanized, and/or infantry to be recognized as land equipment at all. This is used for things like I thought this was strange, so I tried to look for it. Your suggestion for type=motorized would mean that, armoured cars would get cost-reduced by this spirit because armoured cars are type=motorized. But the armoured cars don't get cost reduced. What the idea actually says, is...

}The XP thing is interesting, if having a different type means you would give different amounts of XP. I'd imagine the production stuff is just guiding the AI and what list the equipment shows up in?
You are right, that was a bad example. The equipment bonus has to match the type name exactly, otherwise it just matches archetypes. Running a trace, I only see references to the
armor type actually being used. For example, SOV_morozov_design_bureau_1:equipment_bonus = {
armor = {
maximum_speed = 0.03
}
}I was wrong yet again, it is just about the XP type to be spent when creating variants or custom designs. Seems pretty useless(?)
I think it influences the filtering buttons above the production line. And if you, say, change light tank chassis to
type = carrier, then they'll be built with dockyards and have the carrier wing config button etc. For the AI, it is basic stuff like "is this equipment of one of the types that has an equipment designer?"infantry for armored cars was.
Maybe related to garrison use? Or template designs: what to mix with what?
