Then again, it could be your hypothosis is illogical?
i just love it when dweebs are so set in their misconceptions. they refuse to question themselves and thus never see their mistakes. hence, more kills for me

look. i'll try and make this simple.... warps come from the internet, somewhere between you and the host and the other players. but the internet doesn't give a rip what the nme plane is doing. to the internet, it's all just a stream of data to be moved along, regardless of whether the nme is flying level or maneuvering. and
all the data does is ride along. it contains no commands that tell some random part of the internet carefully and sneakily to introduce warps in the data dealing with
only the particular nme plane you're after.
in sum, warps are totally independent of what planes do (barring old aw2 cheats like hitting ctrl-alt-del and then canceling that window). if there was an in-game control that allowed warp on command, you'd see level buffs doing it. and if you were getting real warps, you'd be seeing beacon flashes and other planes warping in the distance.
now, in the particular case of rolling fws... this cannot be a real warp for the above reasons. there is no setting in fws to make them appear 'warpy'. hence, the problem is in your fe, specifically it's drawing of the fw as it does a simple barrel roll that is neither shanken nor stirred. problems with the smoothness of high speed objects, or objects changing aspect rapidly, are frame rate problems. and this particular frame rate problem only occurs at short range, when more details of the target appear and these details take up a relatively large part of the screen, so they require more pixel changes.
so instead of looking for a 'roll rate limiter', i suggest you lower your resolution, switch to 16-bit, and/or disable palletized textures. limit frame rate to 45 if you've got a p4. those video options really do exist. also make sure you've got the latest video drivers and use cacheman. those last 2 things cured all fps problems for me and allowed me to go back to 1600x1200x32bit with none of the so-called 'warp rolls'.
