On topic.

Is this a general game animation coding issue or net coding?
Im very bad at actual code so im trying to understand where the problem is coming from

Netcode, I believe.

It appears as though the game tries to represent movement prediction by showing movement in certain directions and at certain speeds in timed intervals. When it predicts incorrectly, by the next interval the player in question "teleports" in the actual direction he moved, which can be quite a distance away from a persons crosshair.

Can tweaking packet size and/or send-receive rates affect this in theory?

Couldn't say for sure what results in the best outcome. I have a decent understanding of the theory behind FPS netcode, but I'm far from an expert. Increasing the refresh rate can result in more accurate movement portrayal, but there there is a cost. Where that cost hits hardest, only CCP knows.

I know im asking alot of questions but you seem to know what youre talking about and knowledge is my own personal jesus/crack.
