Homing projectiles have no speed variation to match the turn-rate weave of MissileROTVar. Their speed comes from the firing weapon and the BulletType:

  • It leaves the launcher at one lepton per frame, accelerates toward the weapon’s Speed, and then holds that speed.
  • With a weapon Speed of 40 or more, it gains the BulletType’s Acceleration each frame.
  • With a lower Speed, it gains one lepton of speed every other frame until it reaches the weapon’s Speed.
  • If it is ever moving faster than the weapon’s Speed, it slows by half the BulletType’s Acceleration each frame, rounded down.
