It takes a hell of a lot more than a single clock cycle to run a targeting algorithm.
Yep, around 200. The Missile meanwhile travels 0,2mm
Source? I'd estimate thousands to millions of cycles.
Not everything has to be computed in every computation cycle. Most things are already pre-computed and the operations to do the corrections would mostly be simple additions and multiplications.
