AI Position does not update as often when AI is on foot as when it is in vehicle

By the way this is not a problem with drawIcon3d command. I replicated this with custom cutRsc, same result. This is problem with how often position updates for a unit on foot. For player it updates ok, for another unit not ok as you can see.
Create player unit for yourself in editor
Create another unit and in the name field enter bob
Preview
Open debug console and copy paste this
oneachframe {drawIcon3D ["\A3\ui_f\data\map\vehicleicons\iconManMedic_ca.paa", [0,0,1,1], [(getPosATL bob) select 0, (getPosATL bob) select 1, 3], 1, 1, 45, name bob, 1, 0.03, "PuristaLight"];}
The tag lags (that is drawn on each frame meaning that position does not update on each frame but every other frame.
now go back to editor, doubleclick on bob and change class from Men to Cars
paste the code again in debug console and execute
The tag updates smoothly.
I have tested this with actual player in multiplayer environment, same thing as with local AI

tag doesnt lag if in vehicle
This could be closed now. The solution is to use
visiblePosition
visiblePositionASL
commands
works great!
