I don't think the actual laser should be that far off from where you are actually pointing at with the laser designator: https://imgur.com/a/tarHb
This obviously cause alot of missiles/gbu's and so on to miss the intended target.
I don't know if that has been the case before with the remote designator but if it wasn't, my guess would be that it would be caused by a same or similar issue like the aforementioned problems with AA missiles missing their targets.
