No sure where to post this if it need moved no problem. Here latley in MP missions with HMD circle showing my wingman. It will be centered up on them to start with then start drifting away then snap back. Last night I was rejoining on my flight lead, he was right in front of the left canopy bow his circle would drift all the way back to the edge of hud then snap back to him then repeat. No problems with the alignment

It's because his position is updated based on datalink information provided from his plane to yours.  And unfortunately the datalink updates are relatively slow IRL).  So if you were both standing still it would be perfect.  Because you are both moving and the position shown is the actual position he was at at time of last update it looks like the marker drifts and then jumps to current position on the next update.
