Lagarto is talking about when two fighter wings are flying the same mission, and the player is leading the first flight and flying along his route, the second wing always flies faster and makes S-turns and/or roundabouts to keep from overtaking the player's flight.
This issue is much older than the latest patch, as it dates all the way back to Forgotten Battles when DGen was first introduced. DGen always issues the second fighter wing to escort the first. If there are three fighter wings flying the same mission, the second will escort the first wing, and the third will escort the second wing, so you have a situation where - if the player is flying the first wing - the third wing is S-turnig over the second wing, while the second S-turns over the first wing.
It's not a big deal, though. Just let them do their thing, and they'll do their job of immediately pouncing upon any enemy fighters they spot. They ignore anything that's not a fighter so if you want them to attack bombers, you'll have to order them to. If it annoys you, however, simply order the third and/or second wing (in that order) to "Rejoin", and they will duly fly along the waypoints on their own (they don't actually "rejoin" you, per-se, but just re-establish the route). After about ten or fifteen minutes they will go back behind and above you and start S-turning again, so you might want to re-issue the Rejoin order every once in a while if nothing is going on and you don't want to be escorted.
