Added some helicopters.
Cost me 800 bytes of model data (3 detail levels).
I don't have enough tokens to make them fly or shoot back, so they'll just be targets in "destroy enemy airbase" missions.

AA guns!

I had to nearly crash a helicopter into a hangar in order to bring you this close up. You're welcome. 🙃

This one at least should be able to shoot back at you (due to the existing heli cannon code).

Engaging AA guns head on is not a good idea.

Also I need to figure out a good way to convey helicopter damage.

Scrounged together enough tokens to make a somewhat passible menu screen.

These ships. Just sitting there. Looking all unexploded.
