The blinking issue seems to be a harbinger of system decay and unrelated to normal radar operation. IIRC - hasn't happened in awhile, but was frequent - it only involved the desron groups (and once a group of four unescorted LOPL, one of which inevitably sank before contact), not any other ship traffic in the area. Also, no sonar tracks were displayed when the icon disappeared. If i closed with the desron, CTD soon followed.
If I took strong evasive action and narrowed the field of view to exclude the harbinger TF, i could occasionally prevent disaster and the game would return to normal.
