I'd like to request an investigation and hopeful remedy or a fix for a long going issue of remote players position jumping around unreasonably during their fast rotation. Here are two videos that show this issue: Player moving forward and rotating with huge DPI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJclEvswR64 Player evading enemy fire by going in circles and rotating a lot: https://youtu.be/x8kKPJk5UdA?t=21 This happens because players rotate around their collision shape center (`"CfgMovesMaleSdr" >> "States" >> x >> "collisionShape"`) which shifts forward when you move forward, while velocity is calculated from entity position. Quick mouse movements move entity position by a large amount resulting in a few moments of huge speed increase. You can reproduce and observe this with this code snippet: ``` player setAnimSpeedCoef 0.1; pos = getPosWorld player; onEachFrame { hintSilent ([ speed player toFixed 1 ,vectorMagnitude velocity player toFixed 1 ,vectorMagnitude velocityModelSpace player toFixed 1 ,((getPosWorld player distance2d pos) / diag_deltaTime) toFixed 1 ] joinString "\n"); pos = getPosWorld player; drawIcon3D ["\A3\ui_f\data\map\groupicons\selector_selected_ca.paa", [0,0,1,1], ASLtoAGL pos, 0.4, 0.4, 0, "pos"]; } ``` Execute it, then run forward, observe tiny velocity in hint (<1), now start quickly turning with the mouse and observe speed increase because entity position changes a lot despite unit barely moving. You can also try this with `setAnimSpeedCoef 1` which will produce same effect. This huge speed increase broadcasts over the network and clients extrapolate this state into far movement, resulting in players dashing around, going through walls and stairs, seriously overall ruining both gameplay and immersion.

You can also try this with `setAnimSpeedCoef 1` which will produce same effect. You can also observe this by opening GPS and seeing how much its zoom jumps during fast rotations reflecting unit velocity. This huge speed increase broadcasts over the network and clients extrapolate this state into far movement, resulting in players dashing around, going through walls and stairs, seriously ruining both gameplay and immersion. Players that know about this sort of exploit can start running while turning to make them extremely hard to hit giving them a lot of unfair advantage.
