If you’re going over Mach you’re almost certainly using afterburner, which is your real issue. A giant hot jet of flame is a lot easier for the missile to see than a simple heat signature so the missile is more likely to ignore “flairs” (flares) and continue tracking you. Additionally most aircraft have pretty serious compression above Mach so you likely are not pulling as hard- and remember that you can’t just flare and fly straight, you almost always need to maneuver as well or the missile will fly through the flares, lose lock on them, and lock on the next bright thing it sees. If you kept flying straight then that will be you.

It’s happening to me too in the TT german tornado, when u get to 1.01 near 1.02 mach the plane is unable to drop any kind of flare or chaff, I don’t think the guy is talking about the flares’ effectiveness, but that you’re literally unable to drop any

Oh if the problem is they aren’t dropping that’s definitely a bug with the new update and all and should be reported

Flares and Missiles not working above Mach 1 if you carry bombs…looks like a bug.

it must be a bug that only happens sometimes, cause i played the F-111F with bombs and i got a few kills with 9L’s, thats interesting
That’s not the point of the topic.
By the way, you can still dodge fox2 in some conditions with AB on. When you run to bomb a base, you have no other choice than going at maximum speed. To arrive quick but also to defend if needed.
And we all have the same issue I guess.
No CM drop possible above M1.0 with bombs (tested on Mirage4000, 2000D and F16AM).
