This is presuming the missiles do not have clever enough guidance
systems to compensate for the velocity of the launching vehicle. I can
see no good reason why they should have that restriction - especially if
they don't have a  number of turns of flying to do like MT missiles.
They could do a massive deceleration burn as soon as they popped out of
the tube, then plot their given trajectory...
