[OB 2.7.15.26783] R-3S and R-3R have too high of drag compared to AIM-9B

[DSplayer]

Problem: The R-3S and R-3R (which has the same Cx and Cy values as the R-3S) have too high of drag compared to the AIM-9B (the closest contemporary missile) which causes it to not reach the same speed as the AIM-9B.

Even though the Cx_pil value is lower than all the other AIM-9s (0.01 vs 1.88), the Cx_k values are substantially higher for the R-3S and R-3R.
