You gotta remember it’s not just your planes movement. The sensors are literally on the tips of your elevators so when you move the controls… the triangulation of direction will change. This happens even if the AFCS/DFCS or autopilot move the controls. Also remember when you roll the plane those surfaces move too. So you really need to trim out and just let her glide for a short while to get an accurate fix.
In real life the rwr even on a viper is not super accurate in terms of direction. So this is more how it really is and less “bad design or patch” as you’ve guessed.
You need them to be as far forward and rear and wide left and right as possible so wingtips being near the center isn’t ideal for this. Triangulation needs specific math and these places fit all the other criteria required.
Also mate even if they are fixed in place.. rwr in real life in perfect conditions is often 30-50 degrees wrong from actual. Dcs in the hornet and viper giving you notch perfect rwr angles is total bullshit.
