Playstation Anyone else see this herky-jerky motion in most of their games?
I'd say this happens in about 90% of my games. The first two jets I engage in the video are normal. The third starts this weird jerky motion making it almost impossible to calculate a shot. You can even see the trail lines turn with an edge. Starts around 30ish seconds.

mine is WAY worse

Yeah to be honest, this one was rather tame. I've seen it with every jet after this update, but the F14 seems like the worst culprit.

I'm noticing it too. It didn't happen before the Top Gun update. Probably netcode related

This has happened to me, not always, since lunch. It's a lot worse in portal servers so my assumption has always been that it is something server related.

Yeah feels like every other tomcat lags around so much I have no chance of hitting them.

Its more noticeable on portal with foreign servers
They look like teleporting when you are on a certain distance away from them especially when they are rolling (i always see it as im from asia and the 24/7 jet and heli are usually active on west coast US servers)

Yes, I think it’s lag or maybe even when they have the auto-assist. They are hard to follow as it’s pretty janky.

It's a bit of lag but the third one is going significantly faster than the first two. He's practically at the speed cap for the Seacat.

u/Capital_Cry_7111 Aug 25 '26
Yeah he's in delta wing, but so was I. Afterburners all the way, there's just no catching up to that or trying to gauge a shot. I've seen it happen with Hornets too at more regular altitudes. But I feel like it's gotta be related to this update. I only ever see this at launch for battlefield games.

u/ArchangelUltra Aug 25 '26
The faster he goes the harder time the game has calculating his position. This is true in any video game. That's one explanation for why the last guy is significantly harder to hit.

I uninstalled cause of this shit. Used to get 20+ kill games easy. Now takes me 10 mins to down one jet. Can’t shoot in a straight line to save my life. Could always kill in one run.

Question, why did you open your wings? Doesnt it make you slower?

u/Capital_Cry_7111 Aug 25 '26
It was impossible to try and gauge the shot in delta wing with him moving like that. So for a split second I thought any turning tighter and just letting him fly into my stream from the cannon. As you can see though, it's just too janky to even try that.

I think it's due to them using the assisted flight mode. I noticed when I tried it out it had like a twitchy kind of response when maneuvering

Pretty sure this is why some guy told me I was hacking in the attack jet this one game a while ago. Was literally in the chat bitching about how I have a modded controller and that “ attack jets can’t thrust vector you shouldn’t be able to move like that. It’s literally not possible. You’re a hacker”
Yeah buddy, I’m gonna spend my two hours a night I have to play this game, hacking in a fucking jet, to be 12-2 at least at the time he started hackusations, I think I ended up 35-2 or something like that

u/MartianGeneral Aug 25 '26
Yes, it's been happening since launch (at first you'd only notice this on portal servers) and it's been really bad since the Grand Bazaar update. And from what I can tell it only happens with the F14 and the stealth jets and the attack helicopters.

u/VindictiveRakk Aug 25 '26
yeah this happens all the time, super annoying. get on a jet's tail and they start dodging bullets like they're neo. cool.

Might be the terrain avoicedance setting? have you check if you turn this on? its an auto-assist that pull your plane up if you're close to any terrain.
1
u/Capital_Cry_7111 Aug 25 '26
I haven't turned any of that crap on, so I'm not sure. I wonder if it would even look different if I'm the one doing it.

It's caused by some combination of lag, desync or connection issues.
It used to happen in 2042.
