Bomber/drones warping

[Smoke44]

A question from a returning player concerning bomber warps. This “warp” is seen when a bomber and drones approach at a distance. When the distance closes to around 3.7k the issue disappears. This is seen from a ground gun, cv gun, or fighter. From my perspective, it appears that the lead bomber warps ahead and momentarily, the drones warp to reform. This appears to be straight and level flight and is consistent with any bomber/drone flight I’ve come up against. Not sure which to aim at with the ground and cv guns.

The above description is the only issue of  “warping” that I see. Frame rates are decent, in the 90 to 120 rate. Program version 306, patch 4 according to the opening menu. Ping rate around 100, no packet loss.
 
Anything else I should look at? This is a standard setup, no VR.

Could it have something to do with packets from closer contacts being updated more often?

[Meatwad]

I see it all the time under the same circumstances. I always thought it had something to do with AH3, since it never done it in AH2

[Smoke44]

Same here, I never saw it in AH2. Just installed it on a second machine to test it and see the same thing. But this 2nd machine does not have near the vid card as the first one.

[captain1ma]

actually it did it on AH2 also. maybe not as often but it did the same thing. especially large groups of bombers.

It tends to occur when a large amount of cons are near a port with a CV in my case. Use the 5 inch guns on a ship and it's fairly reproducible with contacts beyond 5 or 6k away.

I have seen this behavior A LOT!   I just chalk it up, to my Smoke Signal Internet Provider    I found, it doesnt happen as much, when in Fighter, attacking Bombers, mostly in Ship/Field Guns, beyond 5 k?  Now being said, Icons seem to disappear from time to time...ie...if Lead Bomber is killed, and Drones re-arrange?  Even heard this might happen when pilot mans a gun, for a brief time anyway?

I thought it was jumping to guns too as the formation that warps a bit as you fly up to it seems to defend itself sooner and better than the ones that don't seem to show that warp
