The interceptor's launch is one sequence: the cap opens, the round is
thrown out unlit and slows under linear gas drag (`cold` ticks), the motor
lights where it has reached, it turns with a growing rate while thrust
spools up (`boost` ticks), and full guidance starts only at `cold + boost`.
A rail launch lights at once but spools over the same `boost` ticks; the
electric P1-SUN has no rocket spool or plume.
S-400/500 now hold the unlit ejection for 20/24 ticks (1.00/1.20 s at
20 Hz); IRIS-T/Tor keep shorter 8-tick throws. Ignition, its sound, flame
and recorded MotorIgnition event all use the missile's current position.
The RM48U strike follows the same 20-tick choreography, counts the throw
in its flight time and starts its recorded smoke at ignition.
Maximum speed, turn, accel, pk and every collision rule are unchanged.
