Well... laws of nature do not allow you to.
When you drop something from a plane (a moving object) the thing you dropped will start with the same speed to the same direction... when you throw it forward, that speed is added to the speed of the plane.
So when you drop it, it will go forward with the same speed of the plane and then slow down due to air resistance and point down due to gravity.

So... When you make a missile that is going down directly when it is released, it will look like it is fired and when you make a missile that goes to the same direction of the plane and add gravity to the object... it will act like it is dropped.

(I haven't downloaded that spell but I assume that the missiles did not use the used movement speed of the source as a startoff but rather a (too high) base value)

However systems like WC3 do not really use gravity and air resistance.
So you simply apply arcing with a startoff of 0 degrees and either slow down the missile over time or make the missile cover it's speed over 3D distance.

So we were talking about a good missile system.
I don't know if there is a missile system that allows control over 3D distance, startoff arcing ánd control over used movement speed.
But I am working on it :D
