The jerk you are talking about is when your Valk turns the wrong direction ie away from the target instead of towards.

Patrol has to "pass" the target as it turns, if you do it in the other direction you get the same jerk as with Wraith shown in replay above when it finds a target outside the arc and has to stop and turn around to shoot.

This is why you cannot blindly click Patrol behind the Valk (or any other unit for that matter), you have to account for the turning direction to be correct.

Well explained by images, MeSaber
Since you weren't explaining about the valkyrie direction(face looking) I brought screenshot from my afreeca VOD.
[image loading]

Patrol command always find the short turning angle to shoot(less than 180 degree).
Therefore you must micro this way.
Cool thing to know is SD only shows 16 different animated directions, HD shows 32 different animated directions with smooth turning feature in option-video.

*Tips: People who didn't understand the explanation from my screenshot, read this.
If you click right side of the target, you click left side for patrol.
If you click left side of the target, you click right side for patrol.

Me as an MsPaint artist understand your image perfectly :D

Totally correct. The red cross one is the micro you are doing @vOdToasT. Thats why you get the jerk. Valk turns away from the target instead of towards and "passing" it.

I cant unsee the left explanation looking like a womb though. So basically we should call it womb-micro.

[image loading]

The micro is the same in both cases, the only difference is your angle of attack. The straightest angle is clicking Move just beside the target as Scan says and then make sure you click Patrol on the correct side to turn the Valk towards the target as done in the image above.

One thing to have in mind is that Valkyries dont necessarily have to go away from the target after Patroling. If you are chasing say Mutas you might wanna follow em and then you would put Patrol TOWARDS the mutas on the correct side of attack angle AND 'passing' the target. Then you would shoot & chase at the same time.

Chasing target:

You can click patrol literally anywhere and the vulture will shoot xd.
Or maybe you can't, but I've never missed a vulture shot

I would say Mini isnt that great with sairs.

Losing all those sairs should just not happen. Its a huge misplay but probably intentional because he likes to be aggressive and special in his play.
