#Quad PAB-125 option for Ifrit bay

Shoot, if we're pushing for https://discord.com/channels/909034158205059082/1285275090707288114 then I could see Quad PAB-125s working on the Ifrit, Revoker, and maybe even Vortex. Unlike the PAB-80LR however I don't know if they can fit with a Scythe in the same bay.

Also Compas should be able to take like 3 internally

For those of you who don't want to go read that thread, here's images of the GBU-53 (practically 1:1 model of the PAB-80LR) and it's older brother the GBU-39 mounted internally along with an AMRAAM on the F-35 and F-22
GBU-39/53 were specifically developed to utilize a "quad pack" mounting system to fit both on external weapon pylons and in internal weapon bays of stealth fighters to allow room for a single AMRAAM, even in the smaller weapon bays of the F-35B (compared to the A or C). That's why they have folding wings, folding guidance fins, and a conical shape. PAB-125 bombs are a little harder to pin down.
Given how Mk-81's are the closest IRL comparison to the PAB-125, it probably makes more sense for the Ifrit to take 3 PAB-125s per weapon bay instead of 4. It's not really a munition designed for internal weapon bays like the PAB-80LR/GBU-53 is.
If it can fit, great, by all means, but I definitely don't think you could fit a Scythe in there with it. The Revoker's weapon bay, for example, is already cramped enough where some modifications are to have to be made to the way PAB-80LR are mounted internally, let alone bombs not optimised for maximum efficiency storage. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1285275090707288114/1349076246067286018/image.png?ex=67e4e669&is=67e394e9&hm=7227bf626ccc9bac6143971c3c33a9f7dee7b8fd5274711668d3767d6e326311&=&format=webp&quality=lossless
TL;DR: If it can physically fit 4, great, but the tradeoff should be no internal Scythe along with it, unlike the PAB-80LRs which should sit much closer together due to their design.

4, not just 3 on Compass.
6 for Ifrit.

Dang, that's even more than I thought for the Ifrit bay. Load 'er up and let 'er rip! Looks like a fun time for both the Compass and the Ifrit.

Double triple pylons for internal bays compass looks like joke😅. But double outer external pod looks good

Probably big amount of same bombs for ifrit will make from him tiny convoy bomber. How much for ifrit probably will be good? 18-26.
But im still not sure is it will be really good idea. Why? Kamikadze atack to base with so huge amount small and moderate power weapon will can destroy all AA on base. And this will require darkreach buff again 😅

I was thinking of making this but the last one (internal pab 80s) I tried got fried by mods
AAA try putting them in diagonally in tubes. like some kind of dispenser device
idk if you want to model that though.

3 GPO-500
4 PAB-250
5 PAB-125
(maybe 6)

3 500 dont fit
2 500/6 250, thats all we really need
(excluding glide bombs)

I wanna say the A-4 could take like 18 250lb bombs, the A-7 could take even more. The Compass having anywhere from 22-30 250 bombs on triple rack clusters and internal bay seems reasonable for its role as a subsonic attacker operating around 100 years in the future after the A-4 or A-7.
Here we go, this image has the Mk 81 (a 250lb bomb, which is represented in game by the PAB-125, not the PAB-250)
