So for all practical purposes the TLAM mission would then play out like this:

You start at the extreme end of the map, set up your waypoints in elaborate fashion, then launch the TLAMs. Because TLAMs are slow, you have to wait around for at least 15 minutes as they fly across the map. Then at 100 miles, what is in effect an RNG mechanic starts playing out where SAMs either kill or miss your weapons, completely out of your control.

Now 20 minutes have passed, and due to RNG your missiles are shot down so you failed the mission.

Now explain how this arguably more realistic implementation is more fun.
