We need PABs with more mass, at the moment we can already see the UMPK FAB 3000, whose mass is more than 3000 kg, although in the game it can be limited to 250-500 kg.
If the PAB-80LR flies long distances due to its low weight, then potentially, for example, the PAB-250/500 may encounter difficulties. France has interesting AASM Hammer bombs in service (the heaviest weighs more than 1000 kg), which is noteworthy, to increase the flight range, a solid-fuel rocket engine is installed on the bomb. If we transfer this to the game, it is worth noting that the engine works for a short time in the first seconds of the flight, that is, at the moment of entering the air defense zone, the engine will turn off and the bomb will have time to cool down, thereby infrared missiles will be powerless.
Heavy PABs can also carry cluster smart munitions to destroy enemy columns. Examples include the AGM-154-1 (remarkably, it also has a solid-fuel rocket engine) and the PBK-500U "DRILL", where at the final section of the trajectory, self-aiming submunitions separate from the bomb and descend on parachutes, guiding to the target using radar and infrared sensors. Their main target is tanks, their bomb elements hit the least protected upper projection.
In addition, all PABs can use stealth technology, which is already available on the PAB-80LR in the game.
It might also be worth adding a PAB with a nuclear charge of 1.5 kt.
And why can't Ifrit carry PAB-80LR in internal compartments?
EMP bombs may also become a weapon of the near future, already now different countries are conducting research into EMP weapons. Although to be honest, I have a hard time imagining how an EMP bomb could be implemented in a game.
