Now that DCS has wake turbulence effect, maybe ED could add wake turbulence from missiles also?

I understand that flying through the path of missile is extremely unlikely however this new effect would come in quite handy as an extra realism in DCS (which we all like) for when aircraft itself launches the missile. That is the time/point when missile thrust creates lot of turbulent air and the launching aircraft is flying right through it (obviously), most pronounced when missile is fired off the wing. So why not (if resources/time permitting) add this effect as well?

 

EDIT: now after looking specifically for videos of cockpit view for aircraft launching missiles to see how much of an effect this would have, I came to realise its not that much at all, probably the weight loss from released weapon has more effect then missile plume itself... in which case you can ignore my "request" 🙂

Interactions between air and solid objects are very funny. The fact that the missile's motor is running might, in fact, reduce the turbulence from its passage, because there's no low pressure region at the base of the missile. The way those things interact is far from trivial, and can produce rather surprising results.

F-14 has implemented some vibrations when passing Phoenix's wake turbulence.
