yes, the speed you arrive on the map and the distance you choose have the biggest impact.
if you arrive at 20 knots and the enemy spawns close by and instantly detects you, then yes, weapons will fly fast. This is a bigger problem in the SCS map since you can spawn a whole lot shallower than 600 feet and be cavitating at the start.
I always choose 25k yds distance and at 5-10 knots you always spawn outside of contact range.
From what I have been able to figure out the enemy spawn points are somewhere between just outside max contact range and the maximum limit you choose, i.e. 10,15,25k yds. It seems at 20 knots, the enemy will spawn closer since at that speed you will detect enemy units at a much closer range.
