    • Why is a cruise missile flying slower than a fighter jet?

      I have a few levels 6 Typhoon fighter jets and level one cruise missile. Whenever I fire a cruise missile, it reaches the target slower than the jet.

      E.g., If the attack time of the jet is 9 minutes, and I fire a cruise missile, the missile reaches the target after 18 minutes.

      Shouldn't a missile fly faster than a fighter jet?
