I think yall are barkin up the wrong tree. I've had a hunch for a loooooong time that this happens when the pilot changes/moves from aircraft to aircraft. Think about it. Player moves frm plane 1 to plane 2. Plane 2 is now the central focus of controll and not a drone. Plane 1 becomes a drone. The shift in position/orientation on the attakers FE changes as the newly made drone warps into true perspective. Now I don't buff all that much, and wont generally attack them unless I really feel that "urge" to stop them. This is all just theory.
That is actually an excellent theory. I know if the lead bomber does a sharp turn the drones will warp as they fall out of position, and the drones will warp when the lead bomber gets shot down.
I never really noticed warping other than those two instances, but if there is, Scrap has a really good idea on what could be causing it.
