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.
The gameplay is starting to feel there.
I tweaked the enemies' AI so they can always see at least 200m - prev. you could fly really low and be essentially invisible.
The countermeasures are OP, but tweaking the number you can carry makes you think carefully about wasting them.
Had a good playtest flying up-river to shoot some ships, and ducking inland to use the hills for cover. Eventually tried to rush in and got shot down by an AA gun close range.
More tweaking required, but getting there.
Turns out the targeting camera can be made a lot more legible by simply using a chequered dither pattern.
