GAR-8 / AIM-9B Guidance Activation Time

Reposting from the F-86 section as this has gotten no attention there, and it in fact applies to the missile itself and not just the Sabre.

Thanks Curly for finding all this.

Summary:  After the GAR-8 is launched, it takes about 2 seconds before the missile will begin to maneuver to intercept the target it is tracking. The GAR-8 in game may also not pull enough G.  According to various official sources, The missile should begin to maneuver 0.5 seconds after it leaves the rail and pull up to 12 g.

I spotted your initial report on day 1. It's in my todo-list. Sorry for not answering it, I'm working on more global issues at the moment.
