Never saw blinking map contacts with NYGM , maybe your set up is different. My contacts that do show up on the navigation map are sparse, mostly a square for a convoy and it fades away slowly.
When using Metox, if the radio operator says "Detecting radar signals!" I general dive to 30/40 meters. If it is an aircraft, I am long out of sight, and if a ship, my Sonarman will pick it up. I will stay under for half an hour and then surface. I do not generally go to the navigation map when this happens and when I did, I think I would have noticed some sort of icon on the map.
Not much help, sorry.
Good hunting,

I have to amend my post about moving the radioman solved the contact report problem; I can send an initial report but none after that. Strange.
I'm getting the blinking contacts with GWX btw. Have to try a VIIB in NYGM to see if the same thing happens.
Sorry for the confusion.
I don't usually dive myself when I know the detected signal is from a ship; prefer the mobility the surface provides and while not sure, I don't think the real commanders dove unless they had to in such circumstances (ship contact).
I remember reading Kretschmer anyway was bitter the rest of their lives towards the officer who ordered the dive when he was captured; in his mind if they'd stayed surfaced they'd never would have been captured.
Thanks for the reply !
