RCS A-280 Avenger

This is my entry for the 5th RLM contest in the official besiege discord. Gunships this time.
It follows the rules, and fits the specs.
big, heavy, plenty of guns, and an autopilot

Unlike any other gunships tho, it handles like an airracer !

The autopilot will keep the plane stable and slowly flying in circles at a more or less fixed altitude, so you can fully focus on raining down destruction.
The plane is still 100% controlable as you see fit while the system is engaged, making it really easy to change the point you're circling around.

As for guns, it sports 2 power 8 autocannons to the side on 3d Controlable internal turrets, as well as an always forward facing power 8 nosecannon that can be aimed down towards the ground. There's some crossbow turrets on the wings as well that follow where the front gun is pointing.

Aside from all that, and its fairly high blockcount of 366, it's fast, agile, and flies like a dream.
