It says the missile speed is 11,880 km/h
Way the missile need more than a day to hit a target 7500km away?

What is he asking is why, when he launches, it takes a day for it to show as a hit on the target. He is not doing bad math, just wondering why the stats do not add up.

Its looks like the problem is in the game engine the missiles have a speed limit
tested with 4 different SLBM launched at the same time

If we moved them at "true" speed you'd never see them. It's a game design choice.

There is a way to make the missiles move at true speed? No offense but personally i don't like this design choice.

Basically since the minimum unit of time is either one hour or two hours, if they made it move at real speed none of the units that could potentially shoot down a SLBM would be given a chance to shoot at it and they would be uninterceptable (making ABM technologies useless).
